Canon's 100mm macro is the most "Bang for your buck." There's also the 60mm macro, but I have been pretty unimpressed with that lens, having used both. I haven't, however, used the 180mm macro. While it's supposed to take the most phenomenal shots, it also comes at a phenomenally high price.
These are just Canon's macro lenses. I'm a Canon snob, I admit. Sigma and Tamron also make macro lenses, but I've never bothered to consider them. Canon's glass has an awesome reputation for a reason.

an 18-200 lens is not a true macro lens. it has a 1:3.7 magnafacation ratio which is terrible - even if you are using an adaptor. Look at the lack of sharpness in your pictures.
If you want to do macro photography, you need a 1:1 lens. if you have a canon body, there is nothing better than the Canon 100mm lens. worth every penny. some of the best macros i have ever seen have come out of that lens.
