Thanks for the help so far. I was looking at the Raynox DCR250 adaptor as I thought it could be used with my existing lenses. Would it be a good starting point.
Thanks
Les
Actually, the F-35-70 is not a bad idea anyway as it has a 'macro' feature that allows for closer focusing... Although nowhere near being a true-macro lens it is pretty damn sharp and can focus closely... They can be had pretty cheap if you are patient...
Personally, I'd get saving (or in my case, sell stuff) for a proper macro lens... They hold value quite well so if you don't like it, you should be able to easily sell on...

Not used this one for ages... So it's going toward the 'Maschine-Fund'
I'd like £65 for it, and that includes ParcelForce 48 hour delivery...

Slightly off topic i took a brand new unopened computer which I received as an insurance claim to CEX. The box was still sealed And the guy in CEX opened the box checked it worked and booted it up for the first time. He then offered me the price based on a B rated laptop, so i said why is it not A rated and he told me it was now an opened box laptop and so could not offer the A rated price

If not, then you might want to hunt for the 8mm fisheye (that goes by many brand-names)

I myself have the D-Xenon 100mm macro (same as the D-FA100) which I'll probably never part with...
The really cheap option is 'tubes' and a manual lens OR a reversal ring...
