My macro rail is out of action to free desk space for setup and tweaking of a new "diatom arranging station". I couldn't be bothered tearing it all down to use the macro rig as more desk space is imminent (a day or two). So I had a short session using an MP-E 65 on a Velbon rail and tripod instead. First pic is a single shot with a Samyang 135mm f2.0 @ f/5.6 (the one that bent my last rail when I tried to use it as a tube lens), all the rest are MP-E 65mm stacks.

Thanks Andy, that's my favourite too. You're spot on, window light from front/left, darkish corner of the wall behind. A light touch of vignette to keep your eye from straying off the edges and a minor crop of the right hand side, but otherwise straight out of the camera - for a change :)
