Best digital macro setup as of Sept. 2016?

If you wanted the best possible image quality in a digital setup for macro photography (close to rocks and minerals in a studio), what would you recommend as of today? The Sony 90mm macro is the highest rated macro lens in the DXO database and the A7R-II rates very high, but what would you say? Leica S2 with 120mm APO-Macro-Summarit-S? Other?

Thanks.

Without proper lighting set up, even a fancy and atrociously overpriced gear will not do much.

How about the olympus macro with stacking possibility- perfect for non moving rocks.

Thanks, I am assuming a great lighting setup. Which Olympus?

One of the olympus m43 EM cameras ( i don't know the exact model) with an olympis 60mm macro that allows for stacking with many continuos captures.

The Olympus E-M1 allows for focus stacking/bracketing if you did upgrade to FW4 and use certain lenses
E-M10 MkII seems to allow for that too ...
I tried it, but wasn't overly happy with the results :-(
