Re: New Raynox today.
I know - it needs a steady hand and a lot of patience. I reckon I am binning around 90% of shots at the moment, but I am slowly getting better results.
I am using the breathing techniques I learnt in the army for shooting - controlled breathing until you get your aim, and then half a breath out - pause - FIRE (without snatching the trigger of course)

f22 is likely to cause diffraction and cause your shots to be soft.
Dof is always tiny for macro work.OMD E-M1ii MMF3 8-25 f4 Pro 40-150 f2.8 pro MC-14 12-40 pro 14-42 EZ 9-18 f4.0 -5.6 40 -150f4-f5.6 R Laowa 50mm f2.8 macro Sigma 105 f2.8 macro Holga 60mm plastic Holga pinhole lens lens and an OM2sp

May would 10% as a good success rate in macro.
Controlled breathing and squeezing the shutter button the are what you were taught in photography 25 years ago too. As was holding the camera with the left hand underneath pulling you elbows into your body to brace yourself.OMD E-M1ii MMF3 8-25 f4 Pro 40-150 f2.8 pro MC-14 12-40 pro 14-42 EZ 9-18 f4.0 -5.6 40 -150f4-f5.6 R Laowa 50mm f2.8 macro Sigma 105 f2.8 macro Holga 60mm plastic Holga pinhole lens lens and an OM2sp
