What is everyone using for Macro lenses?

[rgarven]

I want a macro lens so I can take pictures super close-ups of insects, etc.

Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X. Due to the relatively low DOF I'm not a big macro fan. I use this lens with a Leofoto MP-1505 macro slider, tripod, macro tent and additional light sources. And - oh horror - focus stacking. As an amateur geologist I use this combination for photographing in full DOF the surfaces of the rocks I found on my field trips.

Has anyone used the relatively new Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM2 for macro? And by macro I mean very very small wildlife e.g. slime moulds. I realise it probably needs a 2x TC for proper macro work. Thanks!

Without a TC it's basically half macro. With the 1.4x they say it's 0.7. With the 2x it's 1:1.

So yes, you need the 2x for full 1:1 macro.

I have several ways to play. I have E-mount extension tubes, a pk-E adapter for my old Sigma 50/2.8 macro, and I have a Minolta AF 50/2.8 RS macro plus EA4. I hope to try the variants and discard one or two soon.
Native macros are above my pay pension grade.
