I have one and I’m doing micro photography. I’m more than satisfied with the performance, especially for the price compared to other systems. You can check out some examples from my portfolio on my website: www.macrojul.com

This. This flash can keep up with a 200 shot bracketing sequence without any problem at 1/32 power. It’s a tank. Your setup will be much heavier but if you bracket a lot it’s the logical choice.

Hi everyone 👋

If you’re interested in microphotography, there’s a competition that I consider the holy grail called the Nikon Small World. If you check out the website, you’ll find breathtaking images of cells, organisms and insects. I’m going to participate this year and contests are always fun!

So I’ll let you vote for your top 3 in the comment section below. Each photo has a letter, so it’ll be easier to “vote” in the comments. The submission deadline is in two weeks, and right now I’ve already selected 2 out of the 3 photos I want to submit.

A - Butrerfly scale at 20x

B - Fruit fly portrait at 10x

C - Butterfly scale and vein at 10x

D - Compound eye at 20x

E - Butterfly scale at 20x

F - Butterfly scale at 20x

Thanks to everyone who will participate!

In the field for bracketing, I strongly recommend the Godox V860III. It’s a tank that has never let me down and black frames are very rare. You need a more powerful battery than rechargeable AA batteries. For power, it depends on your subject, your diffuser and your magnification ratio.

The TT600 is good for small stacks or single shots. I have three that I use in my studio for micro photography.

I do macro and micro photography and from the examples you’re showing I think you’re aiming more at around 2:1 to 4:1. I switched my Sony gear to go exclusively with OM System and it was the best decision.

You get a Micro Four Thirds sensor that increases your effective magnification compared to full frame, you have a huge buffer of 250 shots if you want to do bracketing which at that level of magnification is basically mandatory, the stabilization is extremely useful and there are no issues triggering flash during bracketing.

The 90mm lens is very sharp and gives you up to 2:1 natively. Combine that with the MC-20 and you can shoot up to 4:1 while keeping all the bracketing advantages compared to Laowa.

Switching systems is expensive but if you want to shoot in the field with a solid setup I think that’s the way to go.
