Nice conversion 
There's a huge range in close up filters.
What dioptre was the one you tried?
I was playing with some of mine last night (a +10, a +4, and a split model of unknown strength) but didn't really have enough light, so my results were predictably poor. I don't think any of last nights were quality models (achromats).

With my short experience, I will say this: It is a thicker version of any filter (UV, ND, etc) you screw on to the front of a lens. Depending on its "power," it allows you get very close to the subject, sometimes as close as a few centimeters. The "magnification" one gets depends on the focal length of the lens. Also, they say, you can stack them up to get higher and higher magnifications, but I have not tired that. Obviously, if your lens is a long telephoto type, you would have to use a tripod and, maybe a rail if you want to do focus stacking. Price varies from $10 and up on Amazon. Mine is a NiSi 58mm, which comes with a couple of adapter rings to go on 49 and 52 mm lenses.
Sounds like an opportunity to exploit the way they modify the qualities of the higher quality camera lens. Creatively. In a Lomography kind of way.
Well no-ones like to rate my results as anything other than lomography
My Raynox supplementarys are much better.
