Amateur Product Photography: Tips and Results

How I Created Pseudo Close-up Product Photos with My Nikon Z5 and 24-200mm Lens I suddenly wanted a Z 105 MC lens. However, my photography skills are not yet at the level where I can utilize all the features of a high-end lens and micro lens, so I decided to settle for playing around with the 24-200 lens to combat shortcuts. The 24-200mm lens has a shortest shooting distance of 0.5m at 24mm and 0.7m when zoomed to 200m. Obviously, it's not a short distance, so it's difficult to take a photo by holding the lens incredibly close to the subject as the dictionary definition of close-up, but if you zoom in and hold the object large, you can take a large photo at a relatively close distance, so it's not a full-fledged close-up, but it's a pseudo(?) close-up.
