Nice to see them compared next to each other. I never realised (but should have) that it would affect the bokeh like that. It's almost like some kind of mirror lens
Was it difficult to get the 4 shots? Do they have to be perfectly evenly spaced apart (in terms of the focal plane)?

Not really difficult as long as you keep to the same magnification throughout (1:1 in this case) then just move the camera to bring certain parts of the body into focus while keeping at the same angle.Was it difficult to get the 4 shots?

I focused on the eye, hump, halfway down the body and wing tip.

Very interesting. I'm a bit of a num nut here for asking, but what is CZM? Is it this: http://hadleyweb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/CZM/News.htm

Wonderful job as usual, Mike. How did you manage to keep it in the same spot to manage four shots, including three refocusings? Hypnosis?
Best regards
