K5, 68mm extension tubes, Vivitar 135mm CF (with fungus), Marumi +10 Apochromatic Dioptre, Sigma EF500 Super, cheap cable, cheaper diffuser, plenty of bananas and buttons. Remote mirror lock up, Rawtherapee, resize in Picasa.
I want one of those macro focus jobbies. It was nigh on impossible with this set up.
Lurking is shirking.!

The bananas are possibly rather spurious.
You can see some of my photos here if you are so inclined

Help reduce blood pressure allowing a greater chance of taking the picture between heart beats,
Ahhhhhhhahahahahaha!They counteract the buttons silly.

But they are all uneaten, unless observing bananas reduces blood pressure.

I've eaten all the ripe ones, constipation doesn't help the macro work.

Stan, the whole rig was bending with the weight and I had "cleaned" (aka spread/moved dust over) the sensor so that's probably bent too. Then there's the penny and photographer to consider ....

Wonder if pentax will fit a little rug at the end of the sensor for sweeping the dust under

Had a quick go at this but the light was no good so tried to light it with the light on my phone
Any way from camera moving forward I have K30/KENKO 1.5X/KENKO 2.0X CONVERTERS/3X SETS EXTENSION TUBES/PENTAX A50mm F1.7@F16 10s exposure 12 sec delay to try and counter the wobble! Live view focus peaking.
might have another go when I have a bit more time and better light.

I wonder if it would be worth reversing an m50mm1.7 on the end of this

Not sure how this fits into the 'rules' but just out of interest here's a version with the Q, which is a bit like cropping (cheating) 
The only lens able to resolve the detail onto that tiny sensor was the 100mm macro on about 100mm of extension tubes.

hmmm. I've been looking for an excuse to try out axial lighting...

I was thinking about having a go at this...though probably with French money....until Nass said he might have a go.....
