Building my "packshot" studio

[BandSaW]

Hi! I decided to build a studio for packstots. At the moment i own 2x bowens 500r ( softbox and umbrella ). Next thing i need to get is my background. Can you recommend me something cheap ? As you can see i dont have too much space so it needs to be easy for assembly. Also looking for lens. Got 24-70 2.8L and 70-200 2.8L. Dont know which one will be best. I was thinking about 100mm 2.8L IS, but need advices here.

Can you show me your setups ? Cheers

The shoot through brolly is likely to be least useful of the two. You just won't have the required light control

I'd stick with the lenses you have, unless macro is a specific need.
