Graham how are you stacking with the D500? Do you have an automatic 'Stackshot' device or are you manually refocusing between exposures?

I moved a little closer to my objective of building a very heavy duty, hydraulic stackshot last evening when I had a brainwave on how to overcome a fundamental issue with my design.

Very similar to this one, but comes with a pump and is much cheaper.

I have devised a way to automate a mechanical stackshot with a robust setup, the Stackshots are in my opinion way too fragile and flimsy. Not to mention extremely expensive.
