I would also reccomend the extension tubes if you are looking for a fairly inexpensive route. I have been quite happy with mine. I have the 55-250mm kit lens, and I've taken some great macro shots with it using tubes. I think the minimum focusing distance on my lens is 6.9 ft, but with a full set of kenko tubes on it, I can get to within about 2 ft with the lens at 250mm, and within a few inches with the lens at shorter focal lengths.
