Alex. This is something I tried 4-5 years ago with my old Minolta Dimage 7.
I used a Minolta 50mm f/2.8 lens reversed onto the fixed lens of the D7.

I found the best way of illuminating the subject was to bounce flash oaround several sheets of white A4 paper.

The results where quite interesting, but all suffered from vignetting which required the image to be cropped.

Much prefer to use my macro lens + extension tubes.
Here is an example from that time.
