Simon,
The hoverfly was taken with a manual focus Nikon 105mm f2.8 Micro but could just as easily have been taken with an autofocus lens. Any of these will get you right inside a flower without additional kit. The big thing with macro is that the more you magnify the subject, ie the closer you focus, the shallower the depth of field - ( zone of sharpness ).
I need to read through the macro forum to see if I can link you some examples.
