Completion of my all diy Macro rig. Finally !

[leanderborg220]

Finally after 2 years of designing/machining/programming etc etc. I finished this project. Macro rig / macro camera dolly, call it whatever you want I`m just starting to test all the extra functionality that I`v incorporated in this rig. One of them is the a zooming feature , for those interested I edited a small video of this process:

Nicely done!

Lovely!

Perhaps you've already done it, but if not, you might think about coordinated movements of the camera and focus ring so as to keep the entrance pupil in a fixed location while focus-stacking a subject with a macro lens. That would totally eliminate those annoying shifts of viewpoints that are often found around 1:1, while letting you use an ordinary lens instead of having to go with a rear-bellows-focusing approach.

I`m not sure if I`m understanding you correctly. So it will kind of work like if doing focus bracketing on a non extendable lens like a Canon 100 f/2.8 macro lens ?
