What kind of diffuser is that? Tried a couple ones that fold up and attached to the lens but the material is usually cheap and tears.

Focus stacking in camera seems like a great feature that my camera doesn't have. Kind of limited to one set shutter speed be nice if it could be adjustable 1/50 is rather slow. The DIY softbox and diffuser are always great to see photographers using from macro to other types of photography. I know this wasn't a professional or paid shoot and so many professionals photographers would never use a Diy for Photography because it perceived to lower the value of the Photographer whereas to Filmmakers with huge budgets($500,000- millions of dollars) will use whatever works from DIYs to Professional equipment. One being is using a cheap semi-translucent shower curtain to diffuse lighting on sets, some say they work better than some professional diffusers.
