I have been recommended this app to perform focus bracketing it does a lot of other things but my camera already has them

I wonder if anyone here has used it and what are the results

I tested it some weeks ago but then it was unusable for macro bracketing because it allowed only a too small number of frames. I got a refund and came in contact with Grzegorz the developper of the App. After some conversation he managed to implement a bracketing similar to the old b8stack. You can set Start and End position and a step width is fine enough for 1:1 at open apertures.

This stack was done withe the Sony A7Riv, Sigma 105mm Macro at F4.5, stacked with Zerene pmax more than 100 frames.

best regards

stacked

and here at f22

at the small size it seems that stacking could be avoided but a 100% crop comparison shows the much more crisp result of the stack

Thank you so you can actually set the focus motor step in the app

This is interesting

Have you tried the sony imaging applicaiton on the computer? I see no trace of steps but have not rigged it yet
