For that you sure need bellows and probably a special short macro lens. That will also mean you have to get very close. That means flash will be difficult. If you like you can borrow my bellows with macro lens or enlarger lens. It is Leica but with a ring it will work on your 5D. Simplest way of light is propabaly two flashes from the sides.
