Thanks Gary. Yea, for stacking I have found a good focusing rail is almost essential. I learned this when I was coming up with 8-legged insects (or worse) during my early attempts. Adorama has two rails, both priced fairly reasonably, and either will do the job nicely. Naturally, I deleted these weird images ASAP, but now I wish I had saved a few to show folks how NOT to do it! It is an adventure, for sure--but have fun doing it!!
Cheers,
Dick

Here's a pic of the Adorama large focusing rail. I got this one because I thought I needed the extra sturdy design, but I think the smaller one would have worked just fine.
