I have used a Nikon 3T on an old Nikon 75-150 F3.5 zoom with good results. However not all zooms work well with a close up lens. And I'm not sure if the 75-150 would work on your D70 as it is a manual lens.
Yes, I have got the a Canon close up lens and it works very well. They come in different strengths or dioptres and have the advantage of no loss of light.
