Macro help

I would like to get more involved in macro photography, to take extreme close ups of insects, small animals etc. I have tried this with my Canon 400D and the kits 18-55mm lens along with macro filters with some success but would like some help. It works OK in this set up with +1 and to a certain extent with the +2 filters but after that the focus becomes quite soft and dof almost non existent.

Can anyone offer any advice as to which would be the best macro lens for this type of work (on a limited budget) and also which ring flash? Also if you have any tips or tricks for technique that would be helpful.


thanks

Pete
