    If you use a Canon, and you're shooting flat artwork on a tripod, you might consider a lens mounting adapter, so you can use old manual focus prime lenses that can often be had for cheap on ebay.... Tamron and Tokina made some amazingly good 90mm macro lenses that can be had pretty cheap for Nikon Manual Focus, with a $20 adapter they can be made to work on Canon and they're waaay cheaper than a brand new AF lens of similar focal length and quality...

    Some older Pentax manual focus prime lenses are great.... and cheaply can be made to work on a Canon body with an adapter

    NOTE, that I would use the color card here again, and be careful with color consistency, as old manual focus lenses may have a slightly different color cast, with systematic use of a color card, you can easily batch correct.
