If I can't focus stack or focus bracket in camera. What's the best technique for taking pictures for focus stacking later. This would be handheld.

I can set my focus manually and slowly pull and push the focus while bursting, or is it better to keep the focus the same and rock back and forth?

A got a few more spot on but was just bug butts so not very interesting. Sadly all the other ones didn't work out, the wind was not helping.

Also how on earth do you do Ants? Those bastards do not stop moving.

Makes sense, isn't the point of those all manual Chinese lenses that it allows them to skirt around mount licensing?

Manual is cheaper and easier to manufacture. And for macro it's what most people use anyway so just makes sense.

Focus peaking in camera with mirrorless makes manual lenses much desirable, you get the benefit of cheaper, lighter and smaller but still sharp and don't have to worry about not being sure if this poo poo will actually be in focus (assuming your focus peeking system is good)
