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

another thread of mine... and don't let anyone tell you that Olympus isn't good because its not one of the big three.....check out my images on 1of1images on instagram or just look at my posts here.

Thanks. You have the basic technique down, and there's one snowflake that isn’t bad. The rest of them simply suffer from bland lighting. Spend some time working on that instead of engaging in brand evangelism and you might produce some work that is genuinely good instead of just "big fish in a small pond" good.

The term "mirrorless" is totally obsolete. It's time we call out EVIL for what it is. (Or, if you can't handle "Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens" then Frenchify it and call it "LIVE" for "Lens Interchangeable, Viewfinder Electronic" or "Viseur électronique").
