Respected Gurcharan Sir, Both of these lenses which you have mentioned will not give results as good as a professional macro lens compatible to your camera. These lenses are nothing but magnifying glasses, you may use more than one at a time, It brings a buldge in the central area of the image, and secondly, on the periphery of the image there will be aberration too. To avoid this you can use lower apertures but with good flash but still it will not have that quality as that of professional lens.
Just if u wish to check how good your lenses is working, make squares on inset, on the paper, and take a picture, from as close as you can get to it. then check in the image whether the squares are looking like squares, i.e., do they have straight lines or curved? For your camera model, you have only two options of macro lens from Sony, but these lenses are too costly (You may check in grey market for lower price): 1. SAL100M28 - 100mm F2.8 Macro, minimum distance 35cm and image size will be 100% (59,000/-). 2. SAL50M28 - 50mm F2.8 Macro, minimum distance 55cm and the image size will be 50% (39,990/-) "image size will be 100%" - this means, when you focus the image at the closest distance, what you see in the viewfinder will be 100% of the actual size of the subject. A good ring flash which can be used with any of the lenses you have mentioned as well as the two i suggested will cost around 6000/- (Vivitar).
