Nice work Ron. I am using the same software and Focus Stack. I did end up buying the Canon MP-E 65 2.8 Macro lens. What a gem of a lens. Lots of settle time between 75 shots of my Mason Bees. So much fun. Learning how to capture live insects safely, them and me.
Thanks. That is a nice lens; I have mostly been doing...fairly bizarre setups. :) I use microscope lenses a lot, and now I have a bellows setup that allows me to use view camera lenses for macro. Just did some one-shot, not stacked, tests, and it looks like some of those lenses can do excellent macro, although not much beyond 1:1 so far.
