Those are not tools. Those are the tip of a ball pen and the tip of a mechanical pencil with the graphite lead sticking out..

I did play around a bit. It is kind of difficult to get good exposure using the auto mode of the ring flash. My first few shots were over exposed. I had to decrease aperture (f22 to f32) a lot and set the flash compensation to -2.0EV on the camera settings. Also, tried taking a photo of a small spider near my house ceiling an was kind of difficult. Need to keep practicing.

I consider myself patient searcher/buyer... I searched for months and months for an affordable AF160FC, on September 2019, I was lucky enough to find one at KEH, they stated that is was in bargain condition, when it arrived I was surprised as it was in excellent condition (just missing the case) and I ended up paying less than half its normal selling price. Then, last week I ended paying only $18.00 for a Raynox DCR-250 that was on eBay as a bid (sells new for about $65). I think I indeed am very lucky (or maybe just too patient/cheap of a buyer).
