My camera is a Nikon d700 (I’m about to purchase a second d700). I use four lenses for this type of shoot:
My cheap 28-70 2.8 Tameron
My awesome 135 2.8 Ai-s Nikkor
My awesome 50mm 1.8 Ai-s Nikkor
And my awesome 24mm 2.8 Ai-s Nikkor
Camera settings:
3200 or 6400 ISO
1/250 or 1/500 shutter speed
Wide open aperture
I shoot a gray-card to set my white balance later in Lightroom.
I shoot in RAW.
