Ken Rockwell lens photographs

[LovePhotography]

Does anyone know what set up (camera, lens, f-stop, etc.) Ken Rockwell uses to take his rather stunning lens photographs? I saw where he talked about it a couple years ago, and now that I've got good equip, I can't find it. If I remember correctly, think he uses medium format, though. What's the best way to reproduce that quality and depth of field with Canon? (I've got a 6D and Sig 50A, for instance). I love the depth of field and sharpness, even on the internet.

Why not drop him a line and ask?

I think the image file name gives you a clue to the body he used...

I wouldn't be surprised if the image was provided by Canon.

I like TDP's lens image comparison tool. He has a separate one for the big lenses.

Send him an email and ask- he's answered me before.

Any modern macro lens is able to make pictures like that. Just to be careful LIGHTING. He probably used a 100mm with aperture F8 or F11.

You can see the refection of the setup in the distance window, it is a simple white box, like the cheap 'product' things you get on eBay and the like.

Lamp on image right slightly closer than the one image left, with an open front.
