[Leica] Focus Stacking

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

I think there are two distinct ways of focus stacking:

1) Taking many shots at (say) 1mm intervals for macro

2) Taking two shots (Paul Ruark), one on foreground subject and one at 
infinity to use lenses optimum aperture (or allow hand held shutter speeds). 
There is/was a pdf on his web site about the technique....
