My dad is paranoid with dust... For Hoyu filters, it seems that anything above +5 will compromise on the image quality. A better brand will be Raynox (High Definition Conversion Lenses) but more expensive... To him, he can use "mechanical zoom aka legs" if he needs a +4.

It works like a UV filter which you fit it on the existing lens and is something like a magnifying lens... Unless you want the blurring of the background and the narrow depth of view, a macro lens is not really necessary. In fact, he showed me by reducing the shutter speed, the background can be darkened and a small F-stop can narrow down the depth of view... According to him, each filter is less than $20 bucks.
