All depends on what your budget is and if you are willing to go second hand. I don't have any minolta glass myself, but if you want to look at 3rd party lenses, the Tamron 18-250 is an excellent walking around lens at about £300. As for macro, the tamron 90mm f2.8 or the sigma 105mm f2.8 are hightly recommended, both a tad under £300.

If the budget is tighter then there is a wealth of minolta glass on ebay. Many will recommend the 50mm f1.7 minolta which I belive can be had for around £60 or less.

sigma do a 70-300 lens which has a macro facility,although not true 1:1 macro..it will get quite close up..

and yes,the minolta 50mm F/1.7 is a little belter of a lens for not much money
