Macro with FF and my flash set up

After being used to using m4/3 and 60mm f2.8 macro lens for awhile it does take more patience and practice when using a Fullframe camera.

As the m4/3 has a smaller sensor of 1/2 the 35mm film, there is a extender effect to get close. For a FF DSLR, all need to be compensated. However I can see one big advantage is it is much easy to get a smoother background on a FF sensor. As mentioned, a DSLR has virtually no lag in the shutter release and it is crucial for manual focusing and pressing the shutter (with actual capturing of the subject). This allows a better hit rate.

As I need more light now due to the requirement of smaller aperture f11-f16, I uses a remote flash as shown in the picture below.
