I have done a similar one at home, but for the purposes of insurance! I thought it would be a good idea to maintain a list of equipment, including valuations and serial numbers, in case anything/everything gets nicked or the house burns down! When you include valuations, the list gets really eye-watering!
I was also wondering which is your sharpest lens, based on what I've seen of my own. I would say that your 85mm f1.8 would be the sharpest, possibly by some margin, even allowing for the 24-105L. Certainly, mine is sharper than my 24-70L. Do you agree?
Steve

Thanks Steve, I definately think the prime lenses are the sharpest, I have had some fantastic results with the 60mm macro in the past. I am really pleased with the 24-105mm lens though...thats L glass for you!

Kind Regards

Well the lightsphere does produce quite nice results...it just looks really silly! LOL Regarding my lighting, I have got a shot of my studio in my p/f..pretty basic but it suits my needs. My biggest tip is never under estimate the power of a reflector!
