Yes, thanks Moose. Comparing to FF this is helpful. As to in camera focus
stacking, that is not something I would likely use, but having the ability to
do focus bracketing would be.
I am curious how well the E-M5 iii does focus stacking.
I have not had great success with focus stacking using PS when taking photos
with a lot of cactus needles. For instance a shot like this (using Helicon
Focus and 6 images)

PS would not get the smooth transitions on all the needles, often creating
little out of focus blobs on the tips requiring a lot of post mask editing to
fix. Helicon seems to handle it with ease, but best if the stack is not random
focus.
Perhaps I don't need a true macro, but a lens with decent close focus.
I know buried in many threads are lens recommendations. I vaguely recall some
discussion of pany lenses on olympus and visa versa, issues? So looking for
what others tend to use on their u43s? Especially to go with an E-M5 iii.
