Dear All ,please have a look at my photos taken with can eos 600 d .lens 18mm-135 mm
shutter speed 1/125 iso 100 and appreature between 8 and 11 .though i prefer 8.
please let me know what you think as these photos i have to work on raw .its not finished yet but i am really happy with detail and results.
i used 1 flash unit elinchrom Rx 600 with smal soft box .though in future i am thinking of using 3 more Rx 600 so in total i will have 4 units.
i was wondering what good lens i can have for my Eos 600 d camera.as 18mm-135mm is too close focal length .i want bit wide angle lens ,may be 17mm or 16 mm ,but please suggest me a lens wich will not give me distortion or affect the quality but instead its better than 18-135mm.in worst scenario i can still live with 18-135 mm.
i love the detail in my pictures now .you guys saved me spending 2800 just on canon 5d mark 3.
you guys are awesome .thank you all

The Canon 10-22mm lens is a nice wide-angle lens and gives you a lot of extra reach.
Or the Tokina 12-24, but I like the canon better.

"Distrosion" related to closeness to the 3D object like that image posted. For flat rugs laid out our hung (hanging down on platform which is lifted to be in the camera-lens axis which offers better workflow and product photo management) the wide angle less difficult to handle because distortion will be more subtle. But there will be some change in the pattern on the periphery of the [flat]rug if shoot close in with the 10-22. Nice lens, though. LR will correct the "barrel" or "pincushion" distortion. You might also look at DxO RAW processing product for other more sophisticated wide angle corrections.

I would guess that pattern distortion was a show-stopper (bad kind) in the rug business.
