Nikon BR2A
With this Nikon accessory, you can mount any lens with a 52mm filter thread in reverse and achieve higher magnification (by being able to focus closer). The downside is you only get stop-down metering (available for the Nikon D200 and higher models…D70s users are SOL), and with this setup you can achieve focus by only moving the camera setup back-and-forth. Of course, you can only use this with older lenses with built-in aperture rings (you set the aperture on the lens ring itself since with stop-down metering, you lose electronic coupling with the camera). So in short: it’s cheap, but if you’re looking for a real macro lens alternative, this is not even close.
