The Sigma 50mm macros are almost as good as Minolta's and generally a little cheaper. There are 3 (at least) versions, which are all good. The newest versions are part of Sigma's "EX" series (the "EX" and the "EX DG") and the older version is simply the 50mm f2.8 macro. Like all macros these are slow focusing but extremely sharp. Prices vary considerably, but expect to pay $100+.
