Hello L Lethal_macro , what's your budget? Have you considered other brands?

I was using sony @6000 with almost vintage 50mm F2.8 Macro lense... And i was happy with it. Now i upgraded body to sony @6400 i need 4k for my YouTube.

Anyway... Pretty much most vintage 1:1 lenses will make you happy... And they arent expensive

I suggest to look for a Olympus camera second hand. The focus stacking and the Fully Articulated screen are two features you must have.

yes yes i am also considering that. but the lens cost as much as the body to fully use the focus brack/stack

I also consider canon M50 mk2, is within your budget. And does good job. I have MK1 and happy with it.
