If you want 'reach' and autofocus, probably the best choice would be the SEL90m25G FE lens (around $1000).
I consider the30mm and 50mm lenses to be too short to be practical for macro personally.
If you are interested in an 'old school' adapted manual focus lens, I have an excellent one for sale:
Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 macro lens (Nikon mount, will adapt to pretty much any mirrorless) This is the famous 'Bokina' macro lens that is generally considered one of, if not the best macro lenses to come out of the 1980s.
Included is the matching 1:1 macro extension and a Nikon to Sony e-mount adapter.
$300, Paypal only, I will pay fees and shipping.

Would you please send me some photos that you took with this lens.
Did you use it on a Sony A 6000?

Dear Rick,
Thank you for the beautiful photos.I assume that there is not any auto focus with this lens and
that it is completely manual focus. Would I most likely use the lens on a tripod?
I need a day or two to research your lens. i am very interested.
Thank you.

Phil, the lens is manual focus only.
The two shots of spiders were hand held. A lot of the folks in the 'True Macro' forum here hand hold their shots.
I use a tripod with my current macro set up but it uses a 180mm macro with a 1.4X TC so, much more powerful magnification.
I use the 180mm in manual focus.

Phil, here is a shot of the lens. I added the Minolta lens hood because the original was missing when I got the lens.
The lens was used in a lab prior to my getting it. The lens alone will produce 1/2 life size (full frame) adding in the 1.5 crop factor gets 3/4 life size on an ASP-C sensor.
Adding the Macro Extender get you to 1.5:1 on the ASP-C sensor.

Rick,
Thank you for the update.
Is the Nikon to Sony e-mount adapter attached to the lens in the photo?

Mu advice is: buy the Sony e 30mm f/3.5 and you be happy, nice autofocus and 1:1 life size pictures.

And is a very good walk around lens with 45mm equivalent and cust less $300 at Amazon. Good lock!

I bought the Sony 30mm f3.5 lens about a year ago. The price is right and it produces excellent photos.

Do you use the Sony e 30mm f/3.5 lens? And if so could you send a picture please?

I have been using the Minolta 100mm f2.8 with the Sony LA-EA4 adapter and it is working great. I also have the Minolta 50mm f2.8 macro, but I mostly prefer the longer working distance of the 100mm macro lens.
One thing I like adapting the Minolta lenses is that I retain Auto Focus.
