I lead a workshop in macro photography and of course, Alan is spot-on with his review.

Lighting is a real concern because we are so close to our subjects that we're blocking the light source.  Solutions include off-camera strobes and reflectors (I'm generally a fan of white over silver because the light from the reflector is much more even).

And if you're interested in getting *very* close, try out extension tubes.  The magnification is amazing. 

B&H sells them so do a quick search.  Your macro work will never be the same!
