Check macrophotography.net. They have a forum with tips for beginners. Everything about extension tubes, macro lenses, reversed lenses, stacking lenses, macro rails, working distances, focus stacking, etc.. Also closeup filters which are available in achrochromatic versions. Much better than cheap single lens filters which are to be avoided. I have dedicated macro lenses but also use a 77 mm Canon 500d with my 70-200/2.8. Nice combination. Nisi have similar filters which are reported to be good. Nikon filters are good, but I do not know if they are still available. If I remember correctly, most of them were only available in 52 mm.  I no longer use extension tubes. They are mostly of bad quality in my opinion, are fiddly to use and you loose a lot of light.
