Response to Seeking DOF advice

I used the lowest ISO possible (100) on the camera when taking the earlier pictures. Taking your advice, I changed the light setting for the camera from fluorescent to Tungsten and changed the actual lighting as well. Staying at f-16, I used manual focus to take 11 pictures of a T90. Starting at the business end of the barrel, I focused on a different part of the model in each picture working my way back 1 inch at a time. Using a trial version of "Helicon Focus" I then combined all 11 images producing one image with the entire model in focus. Here are the results.
While this appears to work, Taking 11+ pics for one usable image is a minor pain. With the Canon Rebel XT, does anyone have a recommendation for the best additional lens for model photography?
