Leaf study
The leaf was at least as interesting as the orange peel. In a head-to-head against my Konica Minolta 100 mm f/2.8 macro, this (cheap!) Sony 30 mm f/2.8 lens, light as a feather, was just as sharp and clear as the better-known, heavier, and more expensive lens.
Also, I have discovered that a Kleenex draped in front of each light bulb (60 watt incandescent, carefully monitored) makes a pretty good diffuser in my lightbox.
