Macro Lens Filter

Will a macro filter effect the quality of your photos?
I am think of buying macro filter for my 18-135 Nikon lens instead of buy a macro lens. Will the filter be as good as a lens itself?
A macro filter will lower the quality of your photos, it's like holding a magnifying glass up to the lens. Yes everything is bigger, but also like a regular magnifying glass it's also a bit distorted and lower quality at the edges.
An extension tube will not lower the quality of you photos and give you some macro by reducing the focusing distance of your lens (instead of say 1ft to infinity, it'll be like 2 inches to 10ft). Getting closer means bigger objects. On the downside, getting closer can cause problems... It can frighten subjects, your lens may appear in a shiny subject, or your shadow will get in the way.
A real macro (micro) lens will give perfect quality and need not be too expensive the 1:2 lenses are usually pretty cheap and will let you fill the viewfinder completely with say a pack of floss, while a 1:1 lens will fill up with a postage stamp. Either should take great photos of most flowers and bugs, the 1:1 would be better for tiny things like ants. And the truly micro items in life may need a combination of 1:1 macro lens and tubes.
