Still working through some of the details in the new rig. I made the mistake of adjusting the bellows in live view and got a nice load of dust on the sensor. Picked up some Eclipse cleaner (methanol) and Sensor Swab 2 pads from the local camera store. Several rounds with that stuff and about 96% of the junk is gone.
Here are some results with a newly procured lens.. 100 images, PMax in Zerene demo:
ausJENA 6,3/0,2 160/- Apochromat objective
20mm RMS extension
52mm->RMS step-down ring
Nikon F->52mm adapter
PB-6 bellows
Nikon D7000
100% crops:
I'm liking the look of the new objective. Lighting arrangement needs some work, as well as some diffusion. Love to hear any feedback!
Refining the rig.. ausJENA 6.3/0.2 apo (house spider)

It seems I overlooked this one when it was first posted.
Yes, the new objective looks good. I would have been nervous that this objective might require a compensating eyepiece and thus would have CA when used by itself on bellows, but I'm sure not seeing any problem in what's shown here.
Looking forward to more images...
