Hi Markus,
I think I agree with you that the OOF objects on the left can be a bit disturbing. Cropping didn't cross my mind last night, but I'll look into it. Thanks for the comment.
The working distance was about 6-7 centimeters. Just did a check with a ruler at approximately the same extension with the bellows. According to a scale on the bellows, the magnification was about 2.5:1.
The flash was in TTL mode. The compensation automatically goes into limiting the flash power.
The only real PITA with working like this is stop-down metering. It was really hard to tell whether the subject was in focus or not. The presented shot was the fourth attempt...:-)

Hi Jostein
a very nice capture of such a small object.
I find the background to the left a bit disturbing, maybe a tight upright
format crop would look better.
May I ask: how close was your shooting distance to the capsules?
Did you use TTL flash and -2 EV compensation?
thanks
Markus
