Best ways to photograph a lens

First of all sorry for the nooby question and I would like to say thanks in advance.


I'm trying to sell one of my lens and a potential buyer is asking to see some photos of the lens. My question is how do you'll usually take pictures of your lens to show that it's still in good conditions?


Sorry if in wrong section, feel free to move if it is.

take a photo of the front and back elements as well as the body.

take a photo with the caps off though so you can see thru it....that usually shows there is no fungus/dust or anything else really...

Go to ebay and lookup some of the lens ads and see how they take.
