cheap macro (microscope!) lens order.

I have finally got my hands on a 28mm prime (Soligor 28 2.8 ) - £4.50 (possibly all it's worth, but it seems nice) Anyway.. I reversed it on my 135 3.5 and it is clearly my best combination yet - the penny test (about 6x): Then I put 65mm ext tube between them and the camera and shut both lenses down to f22, (bit too far me thinks) Seems to have potential (about 10x now) but I am experiencing the usual vibration and focusing issues now. firstly, does this sound like a good combination? if so, where should the two aperture rings be set? and what effect does focusing the various lenses have? this might sound like a daft question but it is really difficult to tell because everything changes when I touch it and I just end up moving the camera. Clearly I need some belows or something but I think I'll use my skateboard for now! Are these things any good?

...and Dan's got some bellows now...

But just hasn't got a week to get the thing in focus.

But has now got a 10mm lens he could try reversing...

Might give it a go tomorrow.
