I never seem to get pollen looking like i think it should either (despite taking multiple stacks and messing with lighting)

stacking can be hit & miss, I think a camera that does it internally would be useful so i can see results immediately (and then adjust and try again)

Hi Jim,

My 2 Lumix bodies will stack internally but (so far) my limited testing of their capabilities with the 30/2.8 Macro suggest that manually stacking from the APS-C Sony with the 100/2.8 Macro yields better results.

hi, I don’t think I’m surprised, I found helicon a bit better than canon dpp, so I assume if my canon camera did internal stacks it’d be a tad worse too, however I sure it’d give a guide, and then you could use the actual photos in a software based stack later

I was using the focus rail and had focus peaking set to the color red. Maybe I should use another color against a red flower? I thought I walked the focus peaking back in depth in tiny increments - maybe not small enough?

it’s a black art for the patient, I’d try smaller and also larger, and then manually clone and stamp all the best bits, something for a rainy day perhaps ?
