Thanks for reminding me, I forgot to mention the recommended A35-70/4 is dirt cheap, under $90 most of the time on ebay. I also forgot to mention it operates just like a true macro lens at 70mm, just turn the focus ring from infinity all the way to maximum macro without having to engage any macro switches, pushbuttons, or rings.

Except of course for the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro which by many accounts is quite exceptional though relatively costly.
