If you really want more magnification for closeups using this lens, then closeup lenses that screw onto the front filter thread are your cheapest option. The only extension tubes that will allow aperture communication between 'G' type lenses ( such as yours ), and the camera body are the most recent offering from Kenko.

The aperture control on 'G' type lenses relies on electronic communication with the body which would be lost if it is reversed so this is not an option for you.
