Re: Equipment for extreme macro

I can't see any problem using Nikon equipment at all. As someone above said--it's about technique more than anything. I use an old Sony A99 on the rig, and it's just fine.  The biggest problem you can encounter is if your camera has a flip mirror--that's a lot of vibration to deal with when the magnifications get large.

I built my own extreme macro rig. Maybe you'll find some useful ideas:
