What do you mean by 'long'? Working distance or magnification?

A cheap option that I have used is either of the Raynox on the Fuji 50-230 - can give a variety of magnifications and decent working distance.

Another left field suggestion is to put an extension tube in front of a 1.4× or 2× teleconverter. The glass of the TC did inside the tube, so you don't need to rely on the quoted 'compatibility' of the lens with the TC.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I’d like to have mags of around ½ or better with at least a few inches (~10 cm) of working distance (lens to subject). So, focal lengths of 90 mm or more, I think.
