Interesting, thanks!

I've been pondering adding Helicon or Zerene but so far I've been happy with the stacking in Affinity Photo. Although I now have v2.0 I have yet to do any stacks there.

I did get a 30mm macro for my MFT gx85 and gx9 which both do in-camera stacking and after only a couple of sessions I like the stacks I get from my APS-C and AP better.

Now I'm wondering if I should get a FF macro lens and stack 42MP images. That raises the whole question of how to compromise. The Laowa 2x 90mm for Sony E-mount looks optically impressive and at half the cost of the Sony lens is attractive from a cost stand point. The Sony 90mm offers its own set of attractions.
