I was all over with focus. It doesn't get any better. I was not getting enough light on the piece.
Since I shot that, I have tossed all the ping pong balls.
I am now running four jansjos (plenty of light now) and have affixed a circle of Opalux around the lense and have the lights shining straight down, much like Darth's system, through the Opalux but no ping pong balls.
So far, I have been able to open the F-stop to 5.5, get more shutter speed. Around 1/60 if I recall.
I will post tomorrow a photo of my setup and what I have so far been able to get out of it.
I still want to try a few things.
