I have seen images of photos taken with this brand of filter here. I cannot remember the name.

There are several diopter add-on lenses available. I own a Raynox M-150 (designed for use with macro lenses of 100mm or longer)

There are some quality supplemental lenses designed to thread into the front of the lens. Nikon made a set with varying degrees of magnification. I have a 6T which I don't believe is made any longer. I also have the same Raynox as Tom referred to. It has a squeeze and grip feature which allows one to use it on lenses with varying filter sizes.

There are a plethora of filter style macro lenses out there. Nikon made the 3T,4T (52mm) and 5T, 6T (62mm size), Canon makes the 250D & 500D in various filter thread sizes, Raynox makes a DCR-150 & DCR-250 but there are numerous others. The better ones are all dual element designs. I own a Nikon 4T & a Raynox M-150, but seldom use either.
