While almost everything that I'm shooting looks great with just the 18-55 there are some small items which would look much better with a macro lens. Small bearings come out just "ok" but we want a little bit of improvement. I'm thinking of bringing in my FA28-80 macro just to see how well it performs. Another option is the A50/2.8 macro. But what are some other options that you think I should consider?
I'd go with the A 50 f2.8. You don't specify which of the 28-80 lenses you have and none of them were particularly macro. Most only focus close enough to give a 1:4 magnification. The 50 is designed to be at it's best at close focusing distances, the zooms are most likely not..
