Hi. I've been doing regular macro photograpy for years using Nikon equipment. I'd like to get into extreme macro, but I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. I know about focus stacking -- it's the equipment that I'm wondering about. Can someone recommend a good Nikon setup that would allow me to get 5X magnification, more or less? I get the impression that not many people use Nikon for extreme macro. Would it be worth it in the long run to switch to Canon? Thanks.

Here's my current setup:
Nikon D750
AF Micro Nikkor 60mm
Tamron SP Di AF 180mm 1:3.5

I'd take a look at the Laowa 2x-5x macro lens to see if it's available in your mount. You shouldn't have to switch systems.
