Thanks for lookin'.
Both work. If you are using a "long throw" MF macro lens it is easier
to use the focusing helicoid. If the FL changes though as is common
with macro lenses, the mag changes and more artifacts can be produced.
The framing seems to change less with using a rail--you'd have to ask
Dr. Focus as to why. (yes, I have checked both methods with the same
shot) There is software to focus stack with AF lenses, though I have
never used that technique.
Oh, and you have to be careful about the framing at the extremes of the
stack. Using the focusing helicoid starting at the front, I think that
is the narrowest field of view. It is the opposite using a rail.
Hope I have that right. Just check both ends of focus before getting
started to be sure all will be included as planned.

Subject: [OM] Paphiopedilum Orchid focus stack
Taken outside to get a nice background at end of Oct in late afternoon.
Only managed to get four useable shots to stack due to pesky breeze.
Could have used a couple more.
