Best Nikon lens for Macrophotography

Over the years all of my lenses except an old 200mm Micro Nikkor have been upgraded and are now "G" type lenses. Can I use these in a reversed mode on my D-810 for macrophotography?

As you can tell, I am new to macrophotography although I have been doing landscape photography for 15+ years and hail from the 4x5 B&W era.

aperture control is your problem
