I've actually used a simple table tripod setup with the TS-E 24, and a flash for lighting (directed at the ceiling, with the subject almost touching the front lens, and it did work well, with good results.
I normally would use the TS-E 90 for this type of stuff too, but that was not the question. Use of this setup also depends entirely on the results you want to achieve, not to mention the combined use of a lens, especially if you are on a tight budget (macro, semi-macro, landscape, architecture, even portraiture). Oh, and in some scenarios a TS-E 90 will actually not do for this type of shot.
Kind regards, Wim

Wim, you used the TS-E 24 II for this table top setup?
Also, I think I was saying the I use the panorama head, then attempt to set the TS-E 90 on its nodal point using the slide in a relatively macro setup using tubes, then stitch a few together to get a similar angle of view to the 24 but without the depth of field.
Yakim, if you want, name some closeup subject and I will shoot a few images for you with the TS-E 24 and tube and, send them out or post them, and then you can get a better idea if that will do for you.
