<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kaleun96, post: 8135332, member: 92635&quot;]Yeah for the Laowa you&#039;d have to focus stack by moving the camera towards the subject rather than changing the magnification/focus like in-camera focus bracketing. I&#039;ve heard advantages and disadvantages to both but I&#039;m sure for our purposes, either method works about the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a bunch of old lenses for macro as well (mostly enlarger lenses from the 70s/80s) and the quality in some of them is fantastic. Though at 0.75x-2x, the Laowa can&#039;t be beat so I use that for all my coin photography and only break out the older lenses for higher magnification needs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your focus stacks of specific parts of the coin reminds me I must try stack-and-stitch again. I tried it awhile ago and think I shared the results here but it takes quite a bit of time and effort and at the moment I don&#039;t have a precise way of making X-axis (side to side) adjustments for the coin, only Y (up/down) or rotation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
