MAIN MACRO SETUP
My main macro gear
The OM System kit I rely on for the vast majority of my macro work.
I work in cooperation with OM System, having transitioned from Canon in 2023. I chose OM System primarily for the advanced focus bracketing and stacking features that are essential to my macro work. The smaller sensor also gives me a useful magnification boost and a lightweight setup that's perfect for both studio and field photography.
OM System OM-1 Mark II
My main camera for almost all macro work. The advanced focus bracketing and stacking, in-body stabilisation and weather-sealing make it perfectly suited to high-detail field macro.
