Dr. G Posted February 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone use their SL2/SL2-S for product photography with stacking? What lens and setup are you using (manual/automated focus rail, lighting, etc)? I currently own the 35 Summicron-SL, 50 Summilux SL and 90 Summicron-SL. I would just focus stack, but I believe focus breathing may be an issue. This would be for medium sized products, not necessarily macro. Is it worth investing in a L-Mount bellows?

Advertisement Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 Hi Dr. G, Take a look here SL2/SL2-S setup for Product photography and Stacking?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Photoworks Posted February 22, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2021 Why staking is you don't have a macro lens and are shouting non macro shots? I would use it only if you can get enough DOF. Sometimes a tilt lens makes more sense. I sometime use the Canon 90mm macro TS-E with sigma adapter. there is a software that can be used for Focus staking https://www.heliconsoft.com/heliconsoft-products/helicon-focus/ you can use a manual focus rails. NISI make a good one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo Posted February 22, 2021 Share #3 Posted February 22, 2021 Welcome, dear visitor!

This was shot with a S1/R, some Novoflex equipment and stacked with Helios (as Photoworks mentioned). And I agree with Photoworks. For medium size objects a TS lens will do the job. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

beewee Posted February 23, 2021 Share #4 Posted February 23, 2021 Would be helpful if you can say how big the product you’re shooting is. In the past, for the product shots I took, I just stopped down. I used a 300mm lens from far away for minimal distortion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
