I recently bought a super macro lens made Oshiro, a Chinese company: http://amzn.to/2jFAe6w It's completely manual, which is a bit tricky, but it has an amazing 2:1 ratio and is the cheapest macro lens available to my knowledge ($179).
Here's a few samples from it, taken during the freezing weather last week:
A word of warning though - for some reason it gets very dark when focusing really close up, so you're going to want to use a tripod (that's good advice in regards to any macro lens) and a flash with it - I'm using a Meike ring flash/light that I got for Christmas - $23 on Amazon.
It's certainly not an easy lens to use, but the results are worth it IMHO!
