What effect will that have with CZM?
No probs at all with manual focussing through the subject. My plot is to get max magnification on small bugs and manually focussing through say subjects of between 1-3mm is a bit tricky with a reversed 28mm lens. Wolfie has used this in flowers which are big enough to allow for easy seeing of each of the manual focus stages.

Probably a bit of experimentation needed to decide how many focus stages are required for a given subject.

You need a still subject and camera on a tripod for this though as CZM takes all your images and stacks the parts that are in focus. If the subject has moved between frames then the program will get a bit lost when trying to do the combine.

Unless Harry jumps on this thread with some examples I will have a rummage tomorrow to see if I can link to some of his pics.
