Well done! Very clean stacks with great detail and nice lighting. Backgrounds are a tad plain and "insipid", but that's a matter of taste I guess.

Hello

Thanks for the good comments.

Saul:
I do not use HDR.
The first image with the Apo Rodagon N 50mm (2: 1) is the working distance 60mm.
Picture 2 (2.5: 1) with Rodagon 105 the working distance is 135mm.
Picture 2 (3: 1) with Rodagon 105 the working distance is 125mm.

The flash only illuminates from one side.
Between lightning and object is a small piece of lime paper, close to the object.
Around the object is a white, coated paper, the light is reflected, this paper reflector goes from lens to beyond the object.

The light comes almost from all directions, to the main object as reflected light.

All very nice. BTW, that is a lot of extension tubes.
