That's incredible! Was your subject alive? Even at a focus distance of 9.4 - 12.3 inches, any movement would result in focusing challenges...

Subject was not alive. If bytes or stings they will not be alive. Focal distance about 3”

Great image and I would like to thank you ahead of time for the nightmare I will be having for the next few days. HaHa

Great capture! I can't wait to try out my Mpe 65 on my R5.

Was that photostacking just for depth of field or was there another value to it? I'm curious because I can't imagine the minute lens adjustments you must have applied for 100 images. Definitely worth the effort though, an absolutely superb image.

Yes the photo stacking was just for the slim depth of field. I use a focus stacking from cognisys

Thanks. I wondered how you could manage 100 shots for stacking. It looks like I'll have to start saving my pennies for another gismo now. I'll need to use the 5D or 7D on it though as the shutter cable copes with the N-3 connector on the R5 but I've got an R6, which uses a jackplug. All good fun but I can guarantee I'll never get as good a shot as the monster you got.

Interesting gizmo to get those all those shots to make this great picture. Never done a lot of macro photography. Do you use this a lot?

Not yet, but I've used the manual focusing which is amazing. Using an Anamorphic lens clamped on the front of an ef 85mm 1.8.

There's an E3 cable available too - you could get both, though that's more pennies to save ;-)
