I'm looking for suggestions for a fairly fast (f/1.8 or less) macro lens for my Sony nex-7. One with the e-mount would be nice too.
 
I guess I'm kind if looking for suggestions on that as well. I took this picture $Bee.JPG when I was on a walk with my kids just with the kit lens (18mm-55mm at full zoom f/5.6). I took quite a few pictures and always wanted to get closer than the lens would allow. This was the best out of the bunch.
 
Did you find your lens ?

Now that Sony has an un stabilized a-mount adapter for a reasonable price, the third party lens are even more attractive since often they have image stabilization.
 
The only offering at f.8 that does macro is the zeiss 24mm. But were talking like $1100 and it only does macro at 1/4. The nex is not really optimized for macro capabilities.

But for that kind of money you could almost buy a sigma 105mm f2.8 and a dslr and have a better macro set up.
