I used a manual SLR made in early 80's, namely, the Nikon F3HP . I attached the body to a Nikon PB-6 Bellows Unit and a Nikkor AF 50mm/F1.8D lens attached to the other end of the bellows. The resulting setup looks very similar to this .
As for 'sharpeness' that you call, was just the matter of overcoming the limited depth of field (DOF) by stopping down to a small aperture like F/22. The image isn't actually all that sharp and actually suffers a bit from diffraction.
Hope this clears up thigns for you 
Cheers!
