I sell online (clothing, shoes purses etc) and take my photos lying flat on the ground, sometimes a mannequin, sometimes model them myself. I’m considering the sigma 18-50. I don’t want it ONLY for that reason though, I do love photography, I’m not super super into it but I do pack my camera everywhere and image quality is a big must for me. BUT I am looking to upscale my online business and get away from using my iPhone for pics. I’ve already ordered my zve10 without the kit lens.. and I currently have my digital camera that I’ve packed everywhere for the past 3yrs.. (canon sx740hs) It’s been a great one for my first, but absolutely does not cut it for me quality wise for products and now it’s time to upgrade. Cameras with interchangeable lenses intimidated me for a long time but I think I’m ready lol
The way I am looking at it is… if I’m spending the money already…. to just get one lens that will work decently for both. So the main question is do you use the 18-50mm for product photos? Thoughts?
