The Sigma is now discontinued. I have one and I'm quite pleased with it.
It's a 58mm thread and works nicely on my 200mm f/4.0 for the 645.
They're probably still to be found on eBay.

The Sigma (1,5
The Sigma (1,5 or 1,6 diopter) can also be found in 52mm and 62mm
(and replace Nikon 3T and 4T). The 58mm was offered as a specific
CU for their 70-300mm lens.
Fascinating. The famous Achromatic Close-Up Lens Page
(http://www.angelfire.com/ca/erker/closeups.html) mentions only the 58mm
version.
Not to beat a dead horse, though I expect I am:
Pentax sells 2 element supplementary lenses for
645 and 6x7. Anyone ever use them with step-up-
down rings on 35mm? Comments?

they are more expensive than ordinary single element closeup lenses.

I used the Nikon Close-up lenses for quite some time. They really do
give
very good results.

Indeed, and easily obtained, even on eBay. But made for 52mm filter
size, so a step-up is necessary. No big deal.

Buy a bellows and some high quality 6 element enlarging
lenses ( Rodagons, Componons, etc) and you will
be jammin'. Beauty part is these enlarging lenses
are dirt cheap used on ebay now due to the many people
abandoning conventional darkrooms..

While bellows/enlarging lens may not be as cheap as a closeup
lens, the achromatic ones are not $5-$15 and the bellows/enlarging
lenses are cheaper than dedicated macro lenses.Especially
if you want multiple focal lengths
Minolta achromatic close-up lens, on eBay, can be found at that
