Yep. But due to limited space around the subject I needed more working room. The umbrella (43") was about 8-10 inches from the subject. Hence the need for longer FL.
I'd also need more powerful studio lights. And a proper product table. A short bar stool with a bed sheet (clothes pegged to curtains) draped over it left me with sore back. Not since my student days have I had access to a decent studio set-up.

All you need is enough light to get f11 or so and a lens of 50mm or less. No problem. With APS-C and a 35m lens, getting enough DOF is a no brainer. Paul On Dec 9, 2008, at 10:47 AM, P. J.
