The 24mm-35mm lens is suitable for most cases of shooting dishes, and I think you will find this in the shooting or analyzing other photographers' photos, while shooting still life and product pictures (such as ceramic products), a wide-angle lens will be used for general pictures with backgrounds, and a wide-angle lens and standard lens (such as a 50mm or 100mm lens) may be used for standard product pictures, depending on the situation. Depends on the situation. The interior of the building is generally required to use a wide-angle lens, such as 10mm-24mm lens.
So, to summarize, the first body, when you have enough money, you can choose the 5D MARK II (do not buy sets, sets of 24-105mm is not suitable for your shooting), less money you can choose the 60D or 600D.
Then the lens, because your shooting is basically in the indoor, so in order to get good results, there are two kinds of One is to configure a small studio flash that is easy to disassemble, in which case you will need to spend money on too good a lens, and you can easily shoot with a normal lens, and the other option is to use a large aperture lens, which will allow you to shoot indoors in dim light, and of course, if you can also configure a flash that would be the best.
Recommended lens combinations:
When shooting interiors, you can use the Canon 14mm/F2.8L Ⅱ lens if you have a lot of money, the Sigma 10-20mm/F3.5 EX DC HSM lens if you have a lot of money, and the 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 lens if you don't have enough money.
When photographing dishes, you can use the Canon 35mm/F1.4L lens or 24-70mm/F2.8L lens (these two lenses can also be used to photograph interiors) when you have a lot of money, and you can use the 35mm/F2.0 lens or the 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 lens when you have insufficient money.
If you want a good shot in still life and product photography, you can additionally purchase a 50mm 1.8 or 1.4 standard head, 50mm macro or 100mm macro lens, which are often used in the shooting of product images.
The above is the lens. If you are relatively tight money or experience is not much if you can only buy the cheapest 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 lens this lens (just a few hundred dollars), and then according to their own use of experience, and later add other lenses, of course, need to match the flash.
The above is using Canon as an example, if you don't like Canon or are more familiar with other cameras and lenses, you can consider Nikon and Sony, there are the same lenses to choose from, it won't be too different, but Sony's lenses are very expensive that's all.
With the lens and body, then there is the flash and other equipment, you can buy two flashes in the photographic equipment store (with a softbox can be, do not need to honeycomb and so on), softbox, multi-reflector, buy easy to disassemble, folding, the total **** will not exceed 1,000 yuan. Don't buy a bad flash. But the flash is not available anywhere, so if money permits it's best to buy another on-camera flash, such as the 430EX 580EX II.
Basically, that's it. You can take a look at the photos of the dishes in my Baidu space album.
