You’re probably correct, but I hope not. Not sure I want to spend $1000 on just the lens - plus the camera!

At that magnification the depth of field is probably very short. Could be focus stacking.
This is where they change the focal point, take a photo, change the focal point, take a photo, etc. The photos are then merged together increasing the depth of field. This results in the subject being mostly in focus.

Yea, specialized pro-gear. The second tier lens manufacturer’s probably have similar lenses at half the cost.
A more economical trick might be an SLR with the use of extension tubes (and whatever lens you might have). Those are inexpensive, relatively.

Ah. I was wondering how the heck they got that much depth of field at that mag level. So, you need a $1000 lens on a $1000 camera plus some $1000 software to process it? 
For sure some impressive shots.

I’m still waiting on a reply from Sannie on Instagram about what lenses and software he uses to take those macro pics. Not sure if he is going to reply.

Finally got a reply. And he posted another photo. It’s a 1:5 macro lens, Nikon D800, and stacking the photos in photoshop.

It is beautiful work none the less.
I think I see what is going on, but it would be cool to catch a video on the process.
I’m wondering if he means 5:1 ratio? Like this…
