40 image focus stack of a lock keyway · **4 Likes**

I picked up an open box Nisi 180mm macro rail. It's a step up from the old Neweer 4 way macrorail I'd been using.

I decided to give it a trial on a master lock and used my Pentax K-1 and Laowa 24mm 2.5-5x ultra macro lens. at 2.5x f/2.8
Here's a 40 shot focus stack of the keyway along with a 100% crop.

What an excellent Macro, Close-up series. Not easy to accomplish this level of I.Q. A very well constructed photographic journey. Many thanks for posting.

It really is an excellent macro. Evidence of a lot of misses inserting the key.😊

a very unusual and original subject to photograph, the serial macro images result, is really excellent.
Many thanks for sharing.
