Having purchaced an SEL30M35 Macro lens for my NEX 5N, and having had some success, I'm wondering if anyone can point my in the direction of a Sony lens that would give True Macro (1:1) from a greater working distance? 25-30mm from front of lens Doesn't give you much of a head-start when the nastier bugs start reacting to you like Sean Penn reacts to the Paparzzi :) Any suggestions would be welcomed even if it is a non sony lens with an adaptor of some kind. Thanks folks... I'll look forward to your responses.

I think you can attached the Alpha lenses to the NEX camera with an adaptor. If this is the case you may want to consider the Sony 100mm macro lens.

Funny you should mention that chapjohn... I've just borrowed one and have spent the last 3 hours following the sun down my garden path. I'm minus focusing rail right now, and trying really hard to be the 'human focusing rail' by edging one leg of my tripod a fraction in an out :). Hopefully have some results soon. Thanks for your suggestion.
