Ah, but that's argumentation to *avoid* the investment, John. :-)

$525 (plus tax, tags & dealer prep fees) vs $49.95 for the manual rail
from Adorama?

I wonder what kind of lens I might find somewhere like KEH for the $475
difference?

With a focus rail, you still have to move focus by hand. I was thinking

Well done, Bill!

I'm curious to know if you move focus by hand or use some kind of
device for
it. I have been looking at several tools for the purpose, but haven't
been
able to justify the investment just yet.

Didn't try focus stack with it (yet), just setting the magnification
on the macro lens, then focusing by moving the camera.
