Out of curiosity, are you a commercial photographer? It appears that you used a sweep table for the photos and I think I see a reflection of a softbox in the pop bottle photo. Also, you make reference to Sinar, a highly respected Swiss manufacturer of view cameras.
Indeed, I switched from CP fluor. to MH. I got myself a cheap electronic ballast, so I built myself a MH/HPS fixture. I will post DIY pics sometime when I have time, hopefully before the next seed starting season for you guys.

No, I am not a photographer. The pics were taken with my inexpensive pull down white window shade. (with silver bounce light umbrella)

I do have a large old view camera made by Rambrant with a Goerz lens.
By the nature of your questions, I take it you are in graphic/photo related work.
