Must use a heavy (not mini) tripod and lock the mirror - use a cable release or the camera's self-timer if you haven't got one.
Then manually stop down to the minimum aperture and aim off slightly - the focus goes slightly out at extreme close up - that's why lenses with a macro facility sometimes have a seperate focussing scale...
