Just to mix things up a bit, Canon's 500D close up filter (or Nikon's version) is another route. This reduces infinity focus down to 500mm so you can focus very close. The quality is extremely good and shouldn't be confused with the cheaper close up filters available.
If you're on a budget putting one on the front of a standard lens will get very good results and let you dip your toe in the macro water without breaking the bank.
