Just had to check out my Pentax bellows kit with the SMC Pentax Bellows 1:4/100 lens. The light is my AF-360FGZ with reflected light from the built-in reflector. Shot at f/5.6 - f/8.

The tiny flower in the centre is about 6 mm across.

Very good shots, i like 2 and 3 the best, No 2 maybe a little tighter crop, crop out some of the top.
I love the colours of no 3, well done Terry.

#3 is my favourite.

Very nice indeed. Lovely colors and good composition.

Try cropping #2 a bit tighter.

#1 colors are good - but the shadow in the flower isn't the best.

Thanks for tha kind words. No. 2 is my favourite also. These flowers are so tiny, you don't realise the beauty in real life.

BTW, I noticed when disassembling the bellows that I forgot to lock the stop-down button. So all shots are at the full f/4. Sorry.
Best regards
