I agree with aramil - if you have a new camera lined up in the near future and the lenses won't be cross compatible, wait until then. Otherwise the lens (and the cost of all the film you will burn through trying to get to grips with macro work) will only push the DSLR purchase (and the faster learning curve that comes from instant feedback) further back.
If you are really impatient, you could get a clip on macro adaptor. I don't use my Raynox DCR-250 so much now because I normally do macro work with my Vivitar 90mm lens but it still comes out from time to time. It clips onto the front of the lens and thus is brand neutral.
