Anyone use a 50mm or 60mm Canon macro lens?
50mm http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr…
60mm http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr…I'm wanting a macro for some small product photography, somewhere along the lines of softball to lighter sized sets / items.
I plan on having a small diffused light, staged setup. Hopefully when I'm not using my camera, the owner of the products will be attempting to use her point and shoot's automatic macro settings at which point my assistance will rarely be necessary once she learns what is required.
In the past I've used a 100mm macro and I enjoyed it as well as the 180mm macro which I can readily rent, however considering the confined space and size of the items, i would prefer a wider angle like the 50mm or 60mm to prevent the photos from appearing too "flat" and give a more natural POV.
I already own 2 Canon 50mm lenses so I'd feel ridiculous having a third but if it adds macro capabilities at a somewhat inexpensive price, it might be worth it.
Input? Examples of your shots?
