Nice work oscar118, that's looking a lot cleaner and sharper than some older shots, did you change your setup or editing? I like the extra colours and textures of the cork wood, they add a nice balance to the shiny metal. Sharp stack, better details. Lighting looks better too. Good improvements

Hello, thank you for the comments.
I made several changes:
Limiting reproduction ratio to 1:1 gives much sharper images than higher ratios with the lens combination I am using (18-300 + Raynox)
Lighting with flash gives far better textures and colours. Used two Yongnuo units diffused with tracing paper
Stacking with Zerene Stacker is better and faster than Photoshop
And I motorized a manual Manfrotto 454 rail with a stepper motor and Arduino so now I can get very consistent step size (and lots of steps). In this case I used 0,1 mm steps.

Very good results, nice work. Making noticeable improvements. Excellent work making yourself an auto rail .
