[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 810149, member: 50197"] Well, here's an unplanned focus stack. I was checking the non focusing 105 macro to see if it was still sharp after reassembly. I set the focus on roughly 1:2 before assembly so I can still focus by camera distance. Anyway I found two ladybugs and was taking some pictures of them. I could get enough DOF with just one bug using a small aperture. Too much distance for two. When I downloaded the pictures I had taken to the computer, I discovered that two, taken consecutively, were close enough to focus stack. One focused on the bottom bug, and the other on the top. I merged them, and it worked, with a few small issues. One of the top bug's feelers was not sharp (likely motion), and the bottom bug's feelers weren't sharp (outside of DOF). And, yes, the 105 still looks sharp after it's surgery. I will do some more thinking and try and see if I can at least get manual focus working on it. [ATTACH type="full"]395739[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
