This is a very simple (and messy setup) for me to try several macro lenses together. It consists of a makeshift empty CD container, a pen and a brush attached to the pen via a rubber band. Six macro lenses were stacked together and attached to my E-100RS (+4, +2, +1, +3, +2, +1). The camera is then pointed at the tip of the brush and water is dripped down the brush as the camera takes many pictures (with the pre-capture mode). The one light source is not enough for a fast shutter speed which is needed to freeze the drop in mid-air. All the pictures of drops in mid-air looked like blurry blobs which I deleted from the camera.
Vivek, the macro lens you want to buy all depends on the threading of your Nikon lens. My Olympus E-100RS has a 49mm thread. Since I already got a 55mm macro lens set, I just bought a step up ring from 49mm to 55mm to use the set. Expect to pay around $6 to hundreds for a good macro lens set. Of course the higher you go, the higher the quality of the lens. I bought both of my sets from eBay for $6 (some cheap generic brand) and $16 (Multi-coated Hoya) respectively. Those are very good prices. If you have patience while bidding, I'm sure you can get similar prices. Good luck! -Ben
