Got one of these for not very much money on ebay (£27.70 inc postage) and am very impressed, as I wasn't expecting too much from it.

The image quality is good, works with a corrected image at all angles and the 2x magnification is excellent and switchable.

Here's a couple of photos of it on the camera.

Well apart from that one.

It should certainly fit on your Nikon.

Also got some Macro lenses this morning, have yet to try them out.

Macro lenses are my next. I have seen a kit, I think 3 X , 5 X and 10 X. Justs fits on the regular lens.
I bought a Hama pol Cir filter lens ,it's adjustable and it can be used when taking a phhoto of a water feaure so you don't get that reflection, I was thinking more about white/ yellow butterflies. They seam to reflect the light back and you lose the detail in the wings

Beat you to it with the Macro lenses Chocky, arrived last week, but haven't had a chance to play with them yet. If I get more into plant and insect photography, i may get an extension tube, but they are a little more expensive.

I'll do a report on the macro lenses when I've had a play.
