Really depends on what you are shooting. If the object is too large, the macro lens might not be able to frame it fully.

cerebrus: move further back if can't frame fully lo...

TS: i would recommend a 17-35 or 24-70

your kit lens.. or macro only if you want to shoot very close ups..

lighting and a creative mind is more important for product photography..

cos 2 years ago, not much ppl buy TSEs... FF too expensive...

besides, Nikon only have 1 TSE on their catalog, the 35mm one is obsolete... left with the trinity TSE from Canon... the other brands all dun have TSEs.

I use both 25mm zuiko f2.8, or 30mm sigma f1.4 (if you need thin DOF)

any lens even kit is pretty much useable with proper technique...its learning how to use light to make the food very appetising thats difficult to pick up.
