hi all , i would love to get a macro lens and a wide angle , but to be honest im confused as there seems to be loads and i have no idea on what to go for.... so if any one can help i will be eternally grateful :)
ohhh and the guy at our local camera shop said wide angle lens wont work on the sonys ?? yet i've seen wide angle pics taken with a sony so why is he saying they wont work ... or maybe its just me being dense :lol:
 
they will work, you can get the sony 100mm macro or the minolta 100mm macro, both exactly the same as far as i can see!

think minolta also do a 50mm macro but not 100% sure tbh.

wide angle, there is a sony wide angle available, 11-18(?) i only just switched camps and im full frame so not the best of help, sorry!
 
Sony do a 30mm macro, a 50mm macro and a 100mm macro. Tamron and Sigma do some macro lenses in alpha mount that will fit as well.

In wide angle there's the Sony 11-18, Tamron 11-18 and the Sigma 10-20mm, these are all designed for the aps-c sized sensor found in your camera.
