I just received a new (old) pentacon m42 bellows. So using a zeiss 135mm 3.5 and an adaptor I put this mess on my sony a3000. The following shot was of the stamen of a tiger lily hand held.

Upon download & enlargement, I see slight movement (highlight commas), either camera or subject.

This is exactly why the majority of macro-photographers use speedlight illumination. Do you own a speedlight?
