I had no luck with focus stacking, I did manage to increase dynamic range on a still life series but that's about it.

Just to rub it in ,
here's the latest stack I've done- 6 pics in this one but I did use a tripod and macrostage.

I never seem to be able to align the images well enough to show details like hairs.
I might go large format so I can get out to F64 and have some movements to play with.
