Looking for a goog Macro lens

What would be a good macro lens for the A100. I cannot focus close enough with my 70-300 Quantaray lens.

Probably the two that come to mind that seem most reasonable and versatile would be the (click on the link):

• SONY SAL-100M28 - 100mm f/2.8 Macro
• TAMRON SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di MACRO

If you are lucky enough to find a Minolta AF 100mm f/2.8 MACRO, you can probably save yourself a grunch of cash. There are currently 3 of these on EBAY

"Grunch", of course, being a serious photographic-value term.

The Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro will be the most affordable choice, a very good lens too. And the Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro will double as a great portrait lens, it is a great macro lens.
