Re: [Digital BW] Re: OT - Focus Stacking & Dual Focus

Paul, getting back to this topic, with a Nexus 7 bought recently after 
its launch in EU there was my chance to use the Android DSLR Controller 
app  made by Chainfire (actually a Dutch company J.B.Jongma) to control 
my 5D II. I guess the most feature rich DSLR controller available and 
still improving. Very impressed by it. You need a USB TGO cable for the 
Nexus or whatever compatible Android

Focus bracketing aboard since January with gradual improvements after 
that according the development log. Is nice and flexible in use.

Did you use it?
What is the preferred stacker software now, Zerene was mentioned, 
Helicon too?
