@JayLT4 these are great images, and a useful review. May I ask how you set up your shots? I’ve used focus bracketing on my R5 for inanimate objects with my EF100L macro so have a basic idea of how to do it. I do have the 100-500, and an R7 is on order. It requires you to start with the nearest point, and the images are then each a little further away. So what is your initial focus point on a butterfly? Or do you pull back a fraction before shooting? And what size increment do you set for the bracketing? Do you need all 20 images or are many (further away) not needed? It would really help to have some recommendations from you - thanks!
