That remote looks alright. I thought that using a rail was required rather than changing focus point when doing macro stuff?
Every time I have tried it manually changing focus I get artifacts/bad blending.
Mike, I have done some research on the two methods. Each method has its advantages and drawbacks, and best situations to be used in based on those pros and cons.
In any case, most stacking software like Helicon Focus has lots of settings you can change and experiment with. Also, they adjust for magnification and perspective changes in each shot (which may or may not be present, depending on the capture method used between the options you are referring to) Consider also that manual focus changes on the focusing ring (vs precise macro rail movements) are less likely to be evenly spaced, and have a higher chance of moving the alignment of the shot off in various directions (which can still be corrected by the software, but the less it has to do, the better the results will be)
I've found that the software settings have more effect on the result than the method of capturing the stack images. Just my own findings, may or may not really be accurate or true for everyone.
