An old watch, using a Canon 5d mkII + autobellow + macro 100mm and a combined  multipictures technique

and a combined  multipictures technique   

How many shots did you fuse, what original aperture?

[gianluigi]

The number of shots appears in the picture name, every figure ("21-22-...") number is a single original picture. The depth of field is so short that a lot of pictures have to be taken with a small change in the manual focus and then to be fused.

Sorry, the aperture in general was between f8 and f16-f22

Looks nice, you should really use Magic Lantern Focus Stacking to automate this, and personally for shots like this @f8 (lens peak sharpness) and for 100% crop I have to take 10-20 stacked shots to assemble it w/o out of focus segments.

Thanks, I didn't know that a dedicated Sw exists for this kind of multipictires. But to be honest I really like programming on my PC, even using "assembly", but I wouldn't like to transform my camera in a computer. But, in any case I'll check the software feature.

Another solution is Breeze DSLR Remote which allows scripting to run software to control increments for focus stacking, but your camera must be tethered to a computer. 
 
That's a feature in Magic Lentern that seems useful to me, but I haven't used ML.
 
I've used combinezm  to process stacks of images, but it hasn't been updated for many years so there may be something better.

The big disadvantag of the ml software solution (and manual focusing) in comparison to a macro sledge is that the former has to reconstruct data that isn't there since the size of the image changes when focusing - in some cases this will show, esp. when having a object in the foreground occluding the non-bokeh background. Magic Lantern works great for "simple" shots of a tilted plane like this watch.
