I have been playing with my 20D and 28/70L lens taking close ups of food - what would be the ideal lens for this?

I'd try a 45 or 90mm TS-E Lens. Note these are manual focus but will help with DOF control and correcting skewed perspectives.

Do any of you read contemporary food magazines by any chance?

Some of us don't get past the menu at McDonalds.
