Do they just let these things loose or are they radio controlled?

I will vouch for the MacroTak. It's a mean bit of kit that leaves the later version standing. The price is about right too. The iris control is stepless. I leave the preset at f16 and set the DoF in real time after focusing wide open. You can't do that with an auto or an A series lens.

It looks as if they were sown deliberately and if that is the case, well done Vitsoe ! You have captured some beautiful images here and you are right - including the building enhances them (and does the company a favour).

I think Pentax made a similar one under the original Asahi name. This particular helicoid is a custom made job that I found several years ago on E bay. It is designed for lenses that have no focussing device of their own and will move the lens through about 15mm. I finally found its optimum extension today. It now has 140mm of extension with the helcoid at full stretch so it must have sat on the end of a big bellows of some sort originally.

Nice results. I shall have a play with that

At 105mm I don't suppose you can get a lot closer. I still don't have things right because it won't go to infinity yet. I shall continue to play with it.
Here it is on the K5 with the "trombone" helicoid in the middle.
