Hello!
I've got a problem with focus stacking on my Canon 50D with EF100 f/2.8L lens.
I followed the instructions below in details, and it worked, but not very good. In particular, when I start focus rack or take video or start shooting when focus end and start points are selected, focus does not go the whole way and stops somewhere in the middle. When focus step equal 3 the situation is better, but, I believe, just because for the larger the error in focus position is less noticeable. For focus step 1 or 2 the focus never goes the full length between start and end points. Could somebody please tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

1. go to magic lantern menu, activate follow focus, and stack focus to snap (i let it there always really)
2. go to live view and set your first point where you want and with the method you want (autofocus, manual, arrow keys)
3. go to magic lantern and press set over the focus end point
4. now you are in liveview, turn the whell to your finish point
5. press the shutter button to take the stack
Thank you.
