Default Lens Advice Please
As by some of my post you can see I like food photography. I am getting a new camera (Canon 60D) this weekend and a few lenses.
My questions what lens are best suited for food photography? Currently I am using a Canon Rebel XT with the packaged deal lens 28-90. It does okay but I would like to get sharper photos.


Thanks

You'll probably want something with macro capability

If you're going to stick with a crop sensor then get the 60mm macro. If you're going to upgrade to a full frame in the future then get a 100mm macro.
