Which Lens is Best for Product Photography?

Lenses are single-handedly the most important piece of gear that will make or break your photos.

You can work with a ten year old camera and have to shoot in a incredibly low light situation. However, if your lens of choice is not optimal, you won’t get the photo you are looking for.

With that being said, I would argue you can quite literally use any camera at all for product photography, but I would advise you to be very selective about your lens choice. My biggest piece of advice when it comes to investing in camera gear is to save your money for the lens, and to forego the kit lens for something more specific to your interests.
