I'm planning to purchase the Canon 60D (body only) and am looking for a lens. I need it for product photography...shoes in a 24x36" light tent and clothing on a mannequin. I've been looking at the Canon 24-70 mm or 24-105 mm. Could I use either of these lenses for both or do I need a macro lens for the shoes, like the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 or 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro? ....and if I buy a macro, which one would you chose? (50 mm or 100 mm?) I also only want Canon so please don't recommend any other brands.
 
This lens will work just fine for shoes and clothing on a mannequin: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens

Lighting is going the be the bigger issue, particularly for the clothing.

What tripod are you planning to use?
