    Thanks. Everyone seems to sing the praises of the 60mm so I’m sure I’ll be happy with it. I’m sure you’re right about the TT350, but I’ll check it out to be sure. If it doesn’t work, I’ll be on the lookout for a V860iii

    Thanks. The 60mm Macro is definitely on my shopping list. I have a Godox TT350 left over from my Fuji set up. I don’t know if it’s compatible with the Olympus camera and even if it is, I don’t know if it’s the good enough for macro work.

    Thanks, I appreciate the informative reply. And thank you for that link - that website seems like a tremendous resource for macro photographers. I’ll spend some time having a read there.

    Does that mean I can’t focus bracket with it? Do I need a lens capable of autofocus to focus bracket?

    Is it worth moving from Fuji to Olympus just for Macro Photography?

    I believe so, yes. But I’m no expert. This is the nub of my dilemma - stick with Fuji (I like the ergonomics of the cameras) and use something like Helicon. Or move over to Olympus and have the option to focus stack in camera.

    I don’t think that Fuji cameras offer built in focus stacking but the more recent XT models do offer focus bracketing.

    Ah thanks - I wasn’t quite sure how it all worked.

    Thanks. So when you’re using Helicon, you’re taking the photos with cameras photo bracketing facility? In that instance you don’t use the cameras photo stacking - is that right or have I misunderstood you?
