    Thank you marjanko!
    I have a Nikon D7000.
    But the question you want to ask, is "what lens" do I use.
    And for that, it's several answers:

    For some pics, I work with my regular gear for field photography:
    Nikon D7000 + 2x teleconverter + Nikkor 60mm micro (sometimes I add extension tubes).

    For the stacks:
    Nikon D7000 + Nikon Bellows PB-5 + Either my Nikkor 60mm micro, or a m-plan microscope objective (mostly a 10x).

    Like I mention in my post, I'll be happy to write several tutorials, just need some help to fund them :)

        And not all gear is "hardcore"!
        For instance, my preferred speedlight flash diffuser is cut out from a plastic juice bottle! hahahaha

            Oh, I forgot to mention a VERY important part of my gear:
            External Speedlight flash.
            Over the years I have tried many setups, but the most important part is to shoot with a diffused speedlight.
            I will probably make a seperate tutorial just on lighting alone (one of the most important aspects of GOOD macro photography!).

                Nope. I use a Yongnuo YN-560 II most of the time (cost me less than $50) and sometimes even cheaper flashes.
                I have never owned something like the Nikon R1-C1 my friend.
                I do a lot of DIY, this is a hobby, wife only approves up to a certain budget (I'm trying to convince her at the moment, Steemit is not a waste of time btw hehehe).

                  You should see some of the CRAZY (and HEAVY!) setups I have put together for lighting, with cheapo gear.
