I have a canon xsi and was asked by a friend to take some pics of his new clothing line and wondered what the best lens would be for this type of application. There will be models and mannequins. I have white and black felt backgrounds, 1 430 ex ofc and 2 continuous lights with umbrellas. I plan on renting it from my local camera store. He knows I'm not a pro and is giving me a chance to try this.
