Taken with the best macro lens I have, the 135mm El Nikkor. Leica SL2S, Nikon PB4 bellows, 36 images focus stacked. Helicon Focus really struggled with this one owing to the considerable depth, and I had to do quite a bit of retouching to remove ghosting. The long focus rack of the Nikon bellows works well here.
