you have achieved super shallow DOF by this set up Akira and particularly effectively. The colour (as well as the softness of rendering in the OOF areas) is excellent. very soft , gentle and serene feel to the images. Nice work.

Mongo, thanks for topping by and commenting very kindly.  Glad you like them!

The lens is reversed, and the magnification factor is a little less than 2x.  The DOF is so shallow and the bokeh is so much that the character of bokeh seems to be cmpletely neutralized.  For whatever reason, I don't see any CA.
