Re: "Macro Lens" ... "Macro" ... too broad a term

I also agree with John's assessment that light is more important than gear.

This is especially true when you're shooting "a single image" @ f/8-f/16 ... or beyond.

Agreed, but do not discount light quality with respect to stacking. Very easy to lose a lot of detail if the light is not diffused properly, and it will impact a stacked image as much as a single frame.
