Just get yourself a set of Extension tubes, and use on lenses you already have..
Thanks for the thoughtful advice, but that's not going to work when the two lenses I have are the 18-135 and 10-20 f4. Almost all of my photography currently is focused on mountain biking and a little bit of landscapes mixed in.
For the others- I think the example I posted (from years ago, using a Canon DSLR I believe) isn't a good one as it's definitely more macro than the images I'm looking to take. In practice, I want to shoot images more similar to what another poster showed above: creative, colorful, beautiful images of flowers like Zinnias, Dahlias, Poppies, etc where I certainly want to blur the background and separate the subject. So far I like the idea of something like the Sigma 56mm, and maybe even combine that with the 30mm for a slightly wider FOV.
I would go with the Sony 90 Macro using AF or Voightlander 65 or 110 macro capable using MF as smpetty recommended.
However all below were used using extension tubes
Sigma 150-600
24-70II
70-200II
70-200II
70-200II
Contax C/Y 80-200
