Well! I am kind of new to medium format photography.
I try to create a few cool macro product photos with my mamiya 645 but the photos are not really great. Some of them are blurry, colorless, etc....

I have a mamiya 645 system. I use a mamiya 120mm 4.0 macro lens with a extension tube NA402 (24mm).

When I use my canon 35mm camera with my 100mm macro lens, the photos are excellent! What do I miss??? What Do I do wrong???

    No experience of medium format but blurry might suggest camera or subject movement (shutter speed high enough? ) or aperture not shut down enough so DOF is narrower than you are used to with the 35mm.
    Only reason I can think of getting colourless photos is perhaps stray light problems. ie Light being fired irectly into the lens or leaking in from somewhere.
