  1. Hi, I have been trying the focus stacking with the new 80mm lens on an object with the nearest point of focus being 17cm from a the lens at F4 with the distance front to rear of the object being 4cm. I had the camera set on AF-S I first set the bracketing at 100-10-0. The result was pretty good. I then set the bracketing to 20-10-1. The result gave area in focus of about 0.5cm over the 20 shots. I also tried 100-3-1. The result was no change in focus across the images. I had been told the system was intuitive with the camera working out how many shots it required to get from front to rear, clearly this is not the case. What is really annoying is that as Fuji have given no indication as to what the settings mean, we as users are having to use up valuable clicks, which ultimately will reduce the time before we have to send the camera off for repair. Come on Fuji, there appear to be a number of people out there who really want this to work. Before changing to the XT2, I used the Canon 5D mk3 and had a Camranger which connected to the camera and produced brilliant results in photo stacking. Alas, Camranger are not able to link to the Fuji system. Having changed from Canon to Fuji because of the better image quality I was very keen to give photo stacking a try as it would put me back to where I was with the Canon and Camranger. At present I can only say..... Fuji, you have included a system on the XT2 that has potential, but of no value to anybody in its current form. The Camranger was not clever enough to work out how many steps it needed to give focus throughout the image but if the user decided more shots were needed, then the user only had to press the button again and the camera would continue from its last point of focus. This could be repeated until the user was happy he/she had sufficient images to give focus front to rear. Does the stacking system on the XT2 allow the user to press the button again and continue from the last focus point? Les C
