Nice piece of work - reminds me of an Ancient Egyptian sarcophagus

Excellent stuff. I assume it was dead? K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Terrific, wonderful detail in the surface of the wing-cases. I have never succeeded at getting my attempts at focus stacking to work well.

Thanks, you're all most kind!

Yes, come to think about it, you're right L/B.
Indeed it was Kris. They're well-named these beasts! Not "stack-friendly" when alive & kicking/hopping!
Come on, Martin. If at first.... & all that!

Thanks again,

Roger.

I can't find the patience for stacks these days but wow! Look what you get when you do have the patience! Super job.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
