nice Abuttolph, but you need to copy the adress from the image, not from the small icon. Otherwise the image will not show.
here are a few first attempts with ZF 50/1.4 wide open and extension tube 12mm.
Seems like the CY is much better at this, with the Planar the in focus area seams not very sharp - or it is just me.

Cyra - thanks. Actually, I thought that I did copy the address from the image, but apparently it was just the page link. I'll try again below and see if it works.

Cyra - thanks again for the tip. It worked.
You are right about the ZF 50 f1.4 being soft wide open. Mine is the same way and I have read about other people who observed the same issue. I also experience focus shift with that lens, especially when trying to focus at minimum or near minimum focus distance.
Here is a wild lady slipper that I was able to photograph in June. D800e 100mm f/2
