800mm equivalent for studio product work?

Get an Olympus 100-400mm, it focuses to a bit over four feet as an 800mm FF equivalent. Naturally you'd need an Olympus camera to put it on.

And he'd also need to cut a hole in the wall into another room so he'd have the distance needed to shoot product with an 800 equivalent.

I assume EricShaltz specified 50-100mm because that's the perspective range he wanted, not 200-800mm equivalent.

And that he specified 1:1 because that's the smallest subject he needs to shoot, not the 0.29x of the Oly 100-400.

The term "mirrorless" is totally obsolete. It's time we call out EVIL for what it is. (Or, if you can't handle "Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens" then Frenchify it and call it "LIVE" for "Lens Interchangeable, Viewfinder Electronic" or "Viseur électronique").
