    If taking closeups of flowers on a tripod is what he is doing, he could look for an older second hand 105mm micro. You have to manually focus anyway, so it does not matter if it has auto focus or not in this case and he may be able to find a decent lens for cheap.

    Does Nikon make a reversing ring for any of their lenses? If there is one compatible with the lens he is using, that may be the most "budget conscious" way to go......

    I'm not entirely sure that the photo used as an example was made with a macro lens to begin with. Maybe a cropped shot using a telephoto? With any of the macros I'm familiar with the DOF would be shallow somewhere even stopped all the way down without some stacking software.

    He said. "Thank you, that helps." from the comments people left and I asked him to let me know what he ends up doing. As for the sample, that was just some random shot I used as an example and he thought it was close to the type of stuff he wanted to photograph.
