ultra macro setup post by John Halmen, who is ridiculously good at this sort of thing. It's a small studio setup for doing ultramacro, using bits and pieces that are both cheap and easily found.
If you end up going for this and want to buy more than one Jansjo light, I'd suggest you buy them at the same time so they come out the same batch (Ikea sources from different suppliers so colour temperature can vary if you buy them at different times). Note the use of flocking material to cut out haze - it is a very effective way to improve contrast on crappy old lenses. I use a card cut out with a circle that fits inside my bellows as a sort of baffle thing for the same reason.
