So buy a zoom lens & a bellows. Your field may not be super flat, but you can work around that.

It also won't be a zoom any more. As soon as you extend a zoom lens, it ceases to be parfocal. Turn the zoom collar and instantly lose focus, often by a huge amount.

Who says a zoom lens has to be parfocal? This is product photography in a studio, you've got time to refocus
