5.5x and focus bracketing in the field?
4

Here's an example from this morning early...7:30am here in Central Illinois....Sun had been up for about 45 minutes or so. Blocked most of the sun with a 3-ring binder I keep in my car. I used the Olympus EM1 Mark 2 with the MC-20 teleconverter, the Kenko 16mm tube, the Olympus 60mm macro lens AND the Raynox 250 to get me 5.5x magnification and a field of view of about 3mm.

f4.5, focus bracket mode 1/10, ISO 200, 1/8 second exposures. If I removed the tripod, I would have been at 1/25 second exposures....not bad for ISO200 and the poor lighting conditions

246 images stacked in Helicon, Method C

I cropped the final image to about 2.75mm field of view.  Total time to take the shots, stack and process in Lightroom was 8 minutes.  Just adjusted some contrast in Lightroom and made the darks darker and reduced the highlights by -4.

Make sure to open this one full size....it's worth it.
