Great photos in this PUG - Bob Walkden's stands out as my fave. Regarding my shot - the camera was on a focus rail and moved to change the plan of focus. It's just a manual rail, though one that is capable of precise adjustment. I put a small spring clamp on the knob that allows the rail to be moved in very small increments - sort of like the old Pentax 6x7 speed focusing accessory. And in full disclosure the 135 exposures were in two stacks - two runs of about 65 each, with the corresponding output files stacked for the final product. My standard procedure is to do one stack from front to back and another from back to front. Combined using Affinity Photo's focus merge tool.
The SMC 24mm f3.5 is amazing when reverse mounted on the K3. Mark C. Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
