I'll add, for focus bracketing: I've used the 60mm Olympus on E-M1.ii with (or without) extension tubes and Raynox 150 using (1) Olympus Capture in MF with focus adjustment through Capture (see this thread ); (2) using a rail with the shutter on a timer (wait 5 seconds between shots, adjust rail right after shutter with 4 seconds to let tripod shake stop); (3) trip shutter with Olympus Capture after adjusting rail position and letting tripod settle.

All of the above would be with the camera in MF. Capture works with certain models of Olympus cameras, I'm not clear what camera you're using. Option 2 should work for any camera with a timer.

I bought a thread adapter for the Raynox so I could screw it directly to the end of the 60mm, which makes the combo a little easier to handle. If you get extension tubes, make sure they can autofocus to make hand-held work easier.
