FULL-FRAME MACRO SETUP
My full-frame macro gear
When I want full-frame depth, dynamic range and a different rendering for my macro work.
Although the OM System remains my primary macro setup, there are moments when I want the look only a full-frame sensor can give — shallower depth of field, smoother tonal transitions and exceptional low-light performance. This is the kit I reach for when those moments matter.
Sony A7 V
My full-frame body for macro work when I want maximum dynamic range, shallow depth of field and the cleanest possible files at higher ISOs. A superb hybrid camera with class-leading autofocus.
Godox V860IIIs Flash
The Sony version of my favourite speedlight. Powerful, fast to recycle, and pairs perfectly with my diffuser for consistent macro lighting in the field.

Sony FE 100mm f2.8 Macro GM OSS Lens
A beautifully sharp 1:1 macro lens with smooth bokeh and reliable focus. The longer working distance is great for skittish subjects and gives the full-frame setup a very different look to my OM System kit.
Cygnustech Diffuser
The same diffuser I use on every flash setup — large, soft and beautifully even. It transforms a hard speedlight into a wrap-around studio light. Save $5 with code STEWARTWOOD5.
