DOF is ALWAYS an issue with product photography which is what I really meant to say instead of general purpose. I just find the 24-50 in the F11toF22 range with product photography to be ideal and I know how good good is I also have the A50/2.8 Macro which is stunningly good but you only can see it

At f13 and smaller you're hitting the diffraction limits of the sensor/lens combo and giving up quality. Unless DoF is an issue, there's no good reason to stop down past f11 on 1.5x crop digital. The 16-50 will outperform the 24-50 at apertures where diffraction limits are not an issue. -Adam On
