Since corona-lock-down I embraced macro photography more systematically. Many excellent videos are out to learn. Micael Widell inspired me to look closer at diffusors. Here is one of his amazing videos. Her are my settings I derived with multiple tests for different set-ups. My equipment:
- Nikon Z7
- Nikon Z MC 105 mm 2.8
- Laowa 25mm 2.8 2.5-5X with LED on/off
- 2 x Godox V860IIN
- Godox X Pro N
- DÖRR SLR Universal Soft Diffusor
- NAMVO Square Box Diffusor
