I've seen some brilliant macros by the photographer reversing the lens on the mount. Some of the best i've seen was with an old Pentax 28mm reversed. I wish i could find the guy again.
I've tried extension tubes, but the resulting lack of light can be a problem, as can screw on filters with them putting extra glass in the pathway.
I know prime macros are expensive, perhaps not so bad 2nd hand , but they really are the best. Shot this pic with a 60mm f2.8 Nikkor AF Micro
