I just bougt a macro extension tubes set from e-bay for around $20. It has 3 main tubes with 8 types of tubes setting. The purpose of those tubes is to make your current lens to become a macro lens. Macro is needed when you need to take a very close up picture of something. Macro lenses are expensive, especially the micro nikkor (dont ask me why nikon named all their macro lenses, micro-nikkor)
Because this extension tube is so cheap, everything has to be manual. It's a pain not to have Auto focus for macro photography, especially in a low light situation. Buying the actual macro lens is better but there is a price difference there.
After all it's a wise investment to buy this kit and have fun with macro photography. That's the most important part of any hobbies: Having fun! Below are picture samples from the kit.
