Photography Equipment

I get asked this question, so for the record, my photos are currently taken using:
  • Macro photos taken using OM System OM-5, OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm f3.5 Macro IS PRO lens, +/- Raynox DCR-250/DCR150, Godox V860IIIO flash, Cygnustech diffuser.
  • Field Photographs (2023 on) taken using an Olympus TG-6 with the Olympus TG Light Guide. 

Previously:
  • Sony a6500, Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS +/- Raynox DCR-250, Godox V860IIIS flash, Cygnustech diffuser.
Microscopy:
  • Microscope photos taken using a Sony a7Rii on a GXM UltraZoom-3 trinocular stereo zoom microscope. (Prior to 2022, I used a GXM XTL3T101 microscope.)
  • Higher magnifications using a Sony a6000 on an Apex Practitioner compound microscope.
  • Images stacked where necessary with Helicon Focus.

One very important caveat:
 
If you went to a Michelin-starred restaurant and ate the most delicious meal of your life, would you ask the chef ,"What oven do you use"?

  1. Hi, what adaptor do you use to attach your camera to your compound scope?

    1. I don't know the name but it was a cheap one I bought on ebay.

  2. Try searching for something like "Universal T Adapter". You'll also need the appropriate lens mount adaptor for you camera lens.
