Nikkor 200/4.0 Macro on a6000:  

   

 

  

    

   

   

  

Very handy for small objects as it doesn't block the lighting.  

Subject here is about 4mm diameter:

Also helpful where exact alignment to light, background and 

subject are critical to the visual effect, cuz you can move the

tripod inches instead of millimeters to adjust alignment:   

   

  

   

    

    

   

  

   

   

  

Subject field sizes above are about an inch or two.

When working under controlled conditions, and I can't 

imagine doing fairly high magnifications any other way,  

there is no need for IBIS or OSS and no need of crazy 

high ISO speeds, so there is no advantage to a larger 

sensor. My a6000 packs 24MP into half the space that 

they occupy on my a7-II, so the a6000 is providing "no 

cost cropping" vs using the a7-II. It's also smaller and 

lighter. Less mass mounted to the far ends of the rig is 

good physics for stability vs vibration [polar momentum

friendlier ... yadayadayah].

Using the FF equivalent for stating FoV, the 200/4.0 has the 

FoV of a 300mm, with sharp macro potential, really useful for 

medium close tightly framed shots that are not necessarily in  

the "true macro" range:
