Tamron 60mm F2 APSC Macro lens is pretty good on Full Frame: Sony Alpha SLR/SLT A-mount Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review (2024)

I dont know what the options are for Macro lenses on A-mount. But I came across a cheap Tamron 60mm F2 1:1 Macro lens for APSC camera.

This one pretty nice even on Full Frame. Its got a silent motor and does adapt to Emount cameras. When you are close, there is no vignetting, and when you are far, its not too bad.

I like the vignetting effect. The thing with macro is usually only the center is in focus anyway.

I don't remember hearing about this lens. It certainly looks interesting and isn't too expensive.

My favorite lens for macro is a Sigma AF 28-80mm F3.5-5, about $30 US. I like it better than the Minolta. I'm not sure of either lens macro ratio, your Tamron might get closer.

I could have done a little better with aperture

The Tamron is pretty nice. It has a USD motor, so it can be used on most E mount cameras.

This Tamron 60mm is 1:1 on APSC. I am not sure how that converts to Full frame.
