Focus stacking NOT included in EM5-II upgrade it seems--certainly can be done
with CombineZ, Zerene stacker with res High mode tiffs--might be fun.

click on each cam.
Panny doesn't even report focus distance in exif---Oly uses stepper motor
counts--not so great at extremes but at least they do it.

Unclear how accurate that methodology would be at macro distances but suspect
only mediocre.
Moving the cam on a rail does result in less framing issues due to less change
in Mag then changing focus, but the usual stacking software can handle it up
very well up to a point.

Wouldn' like to use that ouside in the wind--unless it is very fast--not
likely. Perhaps the Oly self stacker is very fast but manual stacking can fix
many of the artifacts produced before import to PS and avoid a bunch of work.
Stack em high and low, Mike
