Nice macros Tobi!
Is this a regular reflex camera with a macro lens? Which lens is that?
By nature the more you magnify a subject, the shallower the depth of field becomes but you managed somehow to overcome this issue...

To be honest, Gérard: I have no idea what lens this was. It was just by chance, that the husband of my girlfriend's sister came for a visit, he's a passionate photographer and had his 6,300 € Canon high end camera with him. So we decided to use it for some macros from my mineral collection. But really, I have no clue about the equipment, except for the fact that it was a very expensive Canon. But to be honest again: I don't care, I'm just happy that I got the chance to get some photos like that. But I can ask him about some data concerning the camera ;-)

Tobi, these images are pretty sharp and it would be interesting to know, especially if no focus stacking is used in the process.
In the meantime borrow that camera more often - looking forward to seeing more of your macros!

I got a quick response: It is a Canon EOS 1Dx with a 100 mm L IS USM-Macro.
I can't "borrow" it, he lives quite far away from me ;-)
