Been thinking. Because of the high end body we have assumed you would like the best option which is the dedicated macro lens as outlined above but there are cheaper ways if you do not want to spend that much. I would suggest that buying something like Nikon's 50mm f1.8 lens (about £104 new) and use that in conjunction with either auto extension tubes (the Kenko ones are fine and cheaper than Nikon's own) or with close up filters (like Hoya's) would give you perfectly adequate results and better than you are getting now. Of those two the extension tubes are probably the better more versatile option but the filter would be the cheaper of the two.
