I have nothing to contribute yet, but I'll be watching this thread closely, as I'm interested in the same thing you are.

I will say, however, the 50mm is probably your best lens choice, seems most food photographers are using either that or the 85mm .. the f/1.8 is great for the shallow DoF that seems to go great with food photography.

Do you have a hotshoe flash? You may want to look into getting a hotshoe flash or two, and maybe some cheap wireless triggers ala Strobist.

3) build something like this: http://jugalbandi.info/2008/08/photography-solutions-do-it-yourself-tabletop-lighting-system/
which looks like a fun project regardless.


You don't even need to go that far. Have a look here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=281524

That should get you started for less than $50.
