I've used close-up lenses on a 135mm telephoto and it works fine.  I wouldn't 
call it macro photography because it wasn't 1:1, but it is a lot cheaper
than extension tubes or automatic bellows.

P.S.  When you use extension tubes, the light falls off A LOT.  You better
      have strong illumination and/or a steady tripod and stationary subject.
      I took macro photos of a class ring once (using bellows and a tele.)
      and used a set of movie floodlights.  
      The focusing is critical and it's hard to do unless you
      have a lot of illumination.
