Hi,

your samples have various problems. For example #1 has too shallow depth of field, smaller aperture could help.

As to focusing: try to setup the central focusing point.

Move the subject closer to the window. Cost effective pro solution for your bussiness is two lamps setup. Anything else, except of a circular macro flash will make unlikely shadows.

The 50/1.8 lens gives you more speed, as it has bigger max aperture, on the other side you loose unlikely much of the depth of field, when full open.

Additionally, it is not wide enough for your usage. It is no way to go, IMHO.

All in all, your lens is fine, bring more light and use f/8.
