Bugfinder! I use mostly 2 combo's. Iphone with flashlight and Canon5D with a 65mm MP-E Close up Lens with flashlight. The picture with the workers above came from my Iphone but most of the other close up shots from the Canon

The 65 mm MP-E lens is amazing! Alex Wild uses it!

Its certainly an amazing lens. Very very very specific in that it does not focus to infinity which renders it useless for anything but close ups. If that's what you're looking for, then its the ticket! I used to shoot minerals/crystals and thought it would bring the next level to the game but it actually was very hard to use. I recommend renting it before anything else
