I need hundreds if not thousands of pictures of sick plants or bug infected plants to build this AFN Community project. I cannot do it without you!

Please post your pictures and permission to use them here:

What do you want to know?
They are so many choices out there that one can go with but it all depends on your budget. Do you have a number in mind?

Up to $1000. I'm looking at the Ricoh GRIII right now for it's macro abilities. I want something that can get trichome shots as real macros rather than close up shots.

The digital microscopes for phones aren't close enough, https://picturefotografie.squarespace.com/

Like those. I know I have more versatility with a DSLR or mirrorless but it is really a replacement for a phone but a good second or third camera for a professional. I like the Ricoh but I'm open to suggestions that don't require me carrying around a bunch of stuff unless that is absolutely what I need.

Bro, those are some serious images that picturefotografie has captured. I looked at his insta and in there he shows his setup. Body, lense and stabilization ran him around 10k to start. I run a RED Scarlet 5k with EF mounts and I have no glass (lense) that comes close to capturing that. What he's doing isn't micro... it's on another level... one that only a grip of people can do in the world correctly.

On a "prosumer" basis, I'd recommend the Nikon D7500 body and Laowa glass that fits in your budget. Don't expect getting the images you were looking at but that's the cheapest most versatile rig for what I believe you may want and more versatile that the GRIII. That said, you will also need stable legs (tripod), ring lights, and an image capturing system to ensure no movement in the environment you are shooting. Any slight movement will render the image blurry because of how close you are shooting.
