Getting into Macro with Flash

[Rebellious]

I just got a Godox V860 II for my Nikon Z6. Have no experience with either macro or with flash photography. This pic was my first attempt at using the flash. It was shot with the 24-70 F/4 Z mount lens & technically doesn't qualify as macro. It is severely cropped. Please do suggest a good macro lens for the Z6. Thanks in advance.

Nice pic but yeah, it's not quite a macro. Not to worry, here's a little trick you can try until you find a macro lens that you like and I included a link for top best 19 macro lenses 2019.

The Z6 is quite new, but reversing a lens is an old trick which works well. In the Nikon F- Mount system there has long been a lens reversing ring which as I recall is called the BR-2. I would suggest looking at the Fotodiox website to see if they have made available a similar accessory for the Z mount.

Lens reversing can be done freehand as was shown in the video or it can be done with a ring accessory. The mount part goes on to the body and the front of the Ring accepts the filter threads on the lens.
