I was afraid that you were using flash. Yet more expense ...

I'm sure someone has mentioned this, but I tried a reversed 28mm lens on my D200, and adding extension tubes significantly increased the magnification. Sadly my Triplus tubes are rather poor quality. (I think they are the same as Kenko.) I once had Nikon tubes and stupidly sold them.
