An old Reveunon 50mm f 1.8 M42 single coated lens, the reason for the low contrast is the poor coating and the lack of details is because of very thin DoF with 3 extension tubes at about 5 cm away from the subject, even with f16.

I had to heavily process the Raw to get to how it looks now, +50 contrast, - 50 Black, +75 Sharpness at +50 Details and +50 Vibrance

14-140 II is certainly not a best lens for this purpose - but you can easily get along like this. I forgot to switch to lower iso (it is 800) but at least you have a feeling what you can obtain with standard (and very good IMO) M43 lens. It is crop from 100% size
