I used to look down my nose at these "close-up filters" and "accessory
lenses" until I got John Shaw's excellent book "Close-Ups on Nature"
and then doing more research. There are some superb optical achromat
lenses that you can get, but they are not the cheap-O +1, +2, +3
close-up filters you are probably thinking of.
The best are the double element 'filters made' by Nikon & Canon, much less
prone to edge distortion. but they aren't cheap. You have to use the correct
step up/down rings to fit them to different lens.
See "SUPPLEMENTARY CLOSE-UP LENSES (FILTERS)" on this page to get you
started:

They offer some serious convenience advantages when used on AF zooms.
