My Current Macro Gear
This is all the macro photography gear I am currently shooting with.
OM System OM-1
I shoot all my macro images on the Olympus OM System OM-1. My favourite things about this camera is the fact it is small, light, can shoot at high fps and has an automatic focus bracketing feature which has allowed me to get deep focus brackets in fleeting moments.

OM System 90mm F/3.5 Macro
Just like the body, this lens is very light and easy to use out in the field. It is incredibly sharp, has image stabilisation, and can go to 2x magnification. This lens is also compatible with the automatic focus bracketing I previously mentioned.

Godox V860III
This flash has a powerful lithium ion battery, which allows me to fire multiple shots without the flash buffering. It also has a modeling light which is great for when I am trying to find my subject when shooting in the dark.

Cygnustech Diffuser
I have always used the Cygnustech diffuser for my macro work. The one thing I like about it is how easy it is to setup, and how it can pack flat in your camera bag, making it easy to take on trips. You can order a diffuser for pretty much any type of camera/lens/flash combination via his website.

Other Macro Gear
This is all the other bits and bobs I use when doing macro photography.
Mini Tripod
I shoot all my bug macro photography handheld, but for subjects like fungi I prefer to use a tripod. This tripod is great for photographing subjects in the woodlands because I can easily flip the centre column to get my camera low to the ground.
