I dusted off my 2D (X-Z) macro slider, mounted on a tripod and tried few flowers around the front/back yard.
I was too lazy to crop the vignette caused by Tamron 60f2.

The flowers are beautiful and the details impressive. The orange flower has some ghosting to its left probably because of stacking but they are all very nice.
Thanks for sharing, Sury.

Thank you Yildiz. Yes, indeed. There is some misalignment and softness too. The location of these flowers,
combined with my lack of suppleness in getting down to it are to be blamed.

Re: Sony A99M2 + Tamron 60f2 + Zerene Stacker
Sury: I love your shots. I like the stacking feature. I also have problems with misalignment especially with handheld shot with a macro lens. When I don't use a tripod, as I don't always carry a tripod with me, I have problems. It's usually windy here in the mountains. Wind-free days are a luxury. I use a Metz macro flash, but that doesn't always do the shot justice. It's a game matching speed, ISO, and desired aperture on windy days. It's a problem capturing a bloom at it's peak. I have Tamron 60f2, but I have lesser SLTs. I want a a77ii. I am a A-mount fan boy. I like the A-mount better than the e-mount aps-c. I have a a5100 & a a6500, but I am without an e-mount macro lens . There is a Nissin MF-18 macro ring flash at $489, that works with the Sony multi-function hot shoe and the e-mount. It would probably work with the Sony a77ii, that has the new multi function hot shoe. But it's the cost. It's always the cost. Well, I like your work. I wish that I could travel. Keep it up.
KM7D, Sony A350, A580, A-700, A57, A65, A5100 , a6500 , & a7iii, plus a bunch of lenses.

Thank you Fotogeorge. I don't see the misalignment as a "problem" per se. I see problem as giving me another opportunity to try again.
That is a valuable lesson I learned from the members of this forum. I am already thinking of redoing the shoot once weather improves here with f8 or larger since the softness is at the edge, I suspect in addition to misalignment, the diffraction may be kicking in. The simple observation Yildiz made about the image made me to think about the root cause. Anyway, look forward to your macros as well.
