The 30/3.5 (APS-C) goes 1:1 natively and is half the price of the 50, but I doubt you'd find a 45mm equivalent sufficient for said purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>If adapting your macros, I'm guessing infinity isn't much of a concern, so you wouldn't be rolling the dice with a cheap adapter (which often allow focusing past infinity). RainbowImaging, the company that sells many via Amazon fulfillment, has their own website where order above $15 supposedly receive free shipping and most adapters run from like $3-$8, but I haven't personally taken this route and cannot speak to the reliability. Still, even ordering from Amazon you should be able to get an FD/Nex adapter for maybe $12-$15 (about the same for a basic Nikon/Nex) and would seem the obvious first choice.
