Thnx all!
The fly was on the door post, so that explanes the whitish background. The M50 was on 3 extension rings(approx 62mm total). For a fill flash I used the Sigma EF-610DG ST(with wide-angle diffuser extended)on manual 1/16 flash and a Sto-fen diffuser.

Bonjour Snipes,

Thanks for your answer on the rings ...

I just acquired an "AOCo - Asahi Optical Co" set in M42 "Auto" that I'm going to try with my Super -Tak 50/1.8 ...

Thus all 3 rings (1,2 & 3) for me, too, in my future experiments! Plus other combo's, too ...

Merci encore et salut, John le Frog
