Thanks.. my setup as follow-
Nikon Body, Tamron 90mm Macro lens + 20mm ET + Raynox DCR 250 + DIY Victor Diffuser + SB400 flash + LED headlamp as focusing light.

I am also looking to procure one of the tamron 90mm lens too. Waiting for FO approval. Hahaha.

Looking at your setup, I have one small suggestion that comes to mind which might prove useful in field. You can paste a wire across the flash diffuser top so that you can bend the diffuser close or further from flash to your liking. Just my two cents.

Really awesome images. Keep them coming.
 

Chris do you tie down the focus light on the lens or what? Another question, how do you fit the Raynox with all the diffuser in front?

Yes, the focus light secured with elastic band.

I use stepup rings to secure the diffuser in place and stepdown rings to attached the Raynox.
