Oh, sure. I’ll try it.

StackShot Positioning
I have the basic 100-mm StackShot and will be using either a 100 mm macro lens or the ME-65 lens on a 5d mark iii. I'd be surprised if any of my subjects are ever over 2 cm deep. With that setup, to minimize any sort of wobble or torque on the rails, is there an optimum area I should use? By that I ...

StackShot and Bugslabber
This forum is a wealth of information. I just tried my first sub-stack with Bugslabber, and it's fantastic. So much better for editing! One StackShot question. I've been using the auto-distance mode, where I mark the start and end points. I always mark it a little farther on either end than I think ...

Two Stackshot Questions
I've had a chance to run through a few stacks using my new Stackshot, and I'm really loving it. Two questions. 1. To determine the step size, I'm using Table 2-A from Zerenesystems.com. For example, the table shows that with magnification of 1:1, using f5.6, the step should 0.28. Should I set exactl...

New StackShot
After spending hours reading through the forums, I did get a StackShot. I've been through some basic practice scenarios and think this is going to be a fantastic tool for macro. It's obviously high quality.

Linda, welcome aboard! :D I like your composition of this interesting subject. However, it looks to me as if something is very wrong in terms of sharpness. (I've had similar effects in some of my wing-scale images; in such cases, there has been some issue that needed to be corrected.) How are you l...
