Tamron SP 60mm f/2 Di II Macro Reviews
Exactly what I wanted

I'm an elderly amateur photographer that was looking for something new. The B&H sale price made this an easy decision. The past two weeks have been my break in photographing flowers from the local supermarket. I am thrilled with the results of how easy the lens makes macro photography. For a f 2 lens I do not find the size or weight a problem. The dedicated lens certainly makes macro photography easier. YouTube's videos on macro photography have been very helpful for a beginner like me

question
Seems like the Tamron SP90 Macro gets better reviews than the 60mm Macro. Which would work better on my Sony A55 SLT A55V?
It really depends on what you want to use the macro for. I have a 100mm macro (for Sony APS-C) and I find the distance to subject difficult to manage unless you are simply using it as a prime lens. Hence, this may be a good choice even if the lens is an older lens.

What size adaptor ring to fit a marco lite YN14EX?
The Tamron SP 60mm f/2 Di II 1:1 Macro Lens for Sony A uses a 55mm filter thread. You will need a step up ring, https://bhpho.to/3poetbz
Note, the YN14ex we carry none are for a Sony DSLR. And the lens is for a Sony DSLR.

question
The specs state a minimum focus distance of 9 , but I have read reviews on other sites that state it is 4.25 for 1:1. What is the true minimum focus distance ? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Focus distance is technically the distance from the film plane or sensor plane to the subject. For a 60mm lens at 1:1, this is about 9 inches. The distance from the front of the lens barrel to the subject is much less, and for the Micro Nikkor 60mm is about 4.25 inches. I have both the 60mm and the 105mm Micro lenses, and the 105 leaves a lot more room at 1:1. But I use the 60mm as a 'normal' lens that can focus as close as I want, and find it very useful for close-in scenic work.
