Pentax K3 Mk3, Irix 150mm macro lens with a 1.4x teleconverter and a Metz something something flash.
Camera is meh but I love the Irix lens, so nice to use.
Nice shots for sure. Over the summer I got back into photography after a 10-year hiatus and picked up a Canon R5 with a 24-70 2.8L. That lens is a workhorse but based on the photos I've taken so far I think I'd make good use of a macro lens.

Yeah nice, my fav lens for ages was a Sigma 17-70 I got from a pawnbroker, then I let it go mouldy.

Great lens! The RF100 macro is nice as well. For a full manual macro, the Laowa is fun to play with: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1399601-REG/venus_optics_ve2528c_laowa_25mm_f_2_8_2_5_5x.html
You need their ring light though as there is need to step it down to get enough DOF.
