Hi Guys

First post here so apologies for being cheeky and jumping right in with a question.

I want to set up a permanent small studio to shoot lots of small parts (screws, nuts & bolts etc) for a catalogue production and have been looking at either a nikon D300 or a canon EOS 5D any thoughts on which would be best, I'm kind of confused with the full frame option on the canon (advantageous or not for close up work). I may also want to shoot slightly larger items such as toolboxes but that would be as big as it gets.

I have been advised to get a macro lens but not sure about size etc.

As you can tell I'm pretty new to digital photography so any help gratefully received :thumbsup:
