I use a crappy little cybershot and a 50mm SLR lens to do macro, it works amazingly, though it's a bit hard to actualy take the picture. I posted a video responce so you and other viwers can see how it's done, without spending alot on a really nice camera like that, though that, no doubt takes better macro pictures than my camear. lol : )
I've got a Nikon D50 too. But at the moment I only have the standard lense, although mid September I am looking to get a telephoto, around 70-300mm I think. I would like to get a macro lense but I just don't have the money. And I can't imagine carrying around three lenses. For now though my standard 18-55 lense takes decent macro shots for my standards.
Yea the macro lens is something i need due to the small objects i shoot so much but for every day use its not needed, heres a link to some airshow pics i did wit hthe bigger lens, im not a pro just a hack but the cam seems to work great for me.

I have heard that you can use a telephoto lens with an extender tube to do the same thing without buying another lens.

Correct. However they can be difficult to use at times since the focal plane has been so dramatically enlarged. Focusing can be an issue.

@1stPlaceDirector doesn't have to be telephoto. you can also use a reversing ring
