One more thing, you may try and make a soft light box out of a freezer
container. Cut a hole in the bottom for the lens to poke through and
place the flashes on the outside next to the plastic. It makes a nice
even light that way.

If that still does not work. Take a hammer and flatten him so he will
all be in focus! <G>

Be forwarned..if you are weak of the heart and are easily grossed out by
bugs, please skip to the next mail :)
I have been struggling to get even one good shot with the 38/2.8 on
bellows but haven't succeeded yet.
With DOF almost measured in Angstroms, quick degradation of image
quality at smaller apertures due to diffraction,
and the monumental task of properly illuminating a subject a couple of
inches or so from the front element..its
a nightmare getting even an acceptable image.
If you any of you fellow Zuiks have discovered the secrets of the
38/2.8 please share with me. Meanwhile here
is a recent sample
