>>2967659> Who ever took product photos with a 105 macro and only """""available""""" lighting?Not *exactly* what I suggested.
I did say to address lighting once you are covered with any reasonably sharp, reasonably low perspective distortion lens. Not to avoid dealing with lighting.
The implication is merely that it might be done cheaply after much of the money went into the lens. A set of Yongnuos strobes, bunch of Chinese LED or CFL bulbs, maybe your existing household lamps and torches...
But hey, I tried the extreme variant of "available lighting" on pic related.
APS-C camera, on-camera flash only, basically auto everything apart from aperture, taken on a random white-painted wooden board in the staircase (not exactly a studio), handheld, no focus stacking (should certainly be done here), no extra light modifiers, no post-processing apart from RAW->JPEG conversion.
Focus stacking and then more lighting would probably be the next things to do, but it's not nothing.
