All my stacking pixs were taken with Nikon 105mm f2.8 AF-S VR ED it is very sharp but as stated above I tend to do close-up with it on M but auto focus works very well at normal distances ie 3 feet to Inf. DOF is very narow when shooting close and more so when shooting 1:1.(max possible with this lens without ext tubes) Stacking is only a part advantage as camera must be on a firm tripod locked down and subject must also not move so OK indoors but wind is major problem outside.  Higher than 1:1 as Robert states you are then in the field of micro photography (not my field) Camera then need special very short focal length lenses and bellows or ext tubes.
