I'm partial to the Nikon software as it really nails Nikon colors. I use a very dated copy of LR and PS in conjunction with it.

You can adapt Minolta lenses with most mirrorless cameras. I use a 50mm celtic (minolta) macro with both a Sony A6000 and a Nikon Z50. They will not adapt to any dSLR that I know of.

I would use a macro lens, focus stack the toys and then blur the background in post processing.

very nice, thanks for sharing

My favorite insect and I've had no luck photographing them. 99% of the shots I see in macro forums are close ups and not really macro so, no harm no foul.

Nikon Z50, 50-250 @ 250mm

I love this kind of stuff. Both color and Texture

Of the many cameras I've bought and sold, the D750 is my favorite

Yes, either will give you a more comfortable working distance than the 55. I use a 105 f/2.8 micro nikkor with my Z50 (crop frame). It works well for what I use it for which is bug protography.

How in the world that thing ended up in my band room a few summers ago, I'll never know. It probably was some kids pet or something.
