Best Lens for taking photos of Lenses

We need more info, What lens are you trying to take a photo of ?

Any good macro lens would work well. I'd suggest a 60mm for starters. As with all product photography, a T/S lens would be helpful sometimes, but not required. The lighting setup is far more important than the choice of lens, in my opinion.

A Pinhole. There are no best lenses for anything. Only lenses which let you capture the image as you imagine itl.

I was just having some fun, but completely agree the lighting is much more important.

The easiest way is to mount the actual lens to your camera and find a mirror for a little lens self-portrait!

I don't need myself in the photo to lower the value of the lens. hahah
