Dear All, I'd love to get thoughts on the following 2 questions. I'm in the process of pondering systems for landscape photography with an IQ180 back.

Focus stacking with Helicon etc is a great tool and works wonderfully with an electronic cable release. Can one also use focus stacking on a view camera such as the Linhof Techno that requires a mechanical cable release, or do the small movements to the lens that might occur due to the releasing of the shutter with the moving cable inner render focus stacking not so accurate?

Also, is the Focus Mask on the IQ180 good enough to use as a stand alone focussing system, so that the back could stay on the camera almost always? How does it go in low light?

Many thanks!
