Oh, that's an easy one! Get a new macro lens and play with it on your A6000, see what you can do.....

It's hard when funds are limited, that's for sure! The Sony 50mm macro lens is significantly less expensive than the 90mm macro lens, but off the top of my head I don't know the prices of either. I can say that the 90mm lens is really much more worth the money than the 50mm. More versatile, too. It is one of Sony's best lenses, really. It all but lives on my A7R IV most of the time.

However, if you would rather put the money into being able to shoot with a vast range of focal lengths without needing to change lenses, the RX10 IV wins the day. It is around $1700.00 if I recall correctly, give or take a little -- but for that you are getting the whole shebang, fixed zoom lens plus really surprisingly good camera body which is comfortable to hold and handle. No lens changing required to go from 24mm to 600mm (35mm equivalent). The body feels much like a small DSLR with all the usual controls and such. It is not a pocketable device by any means. For that, Sony offers the much smaller, more compact RX100 series.
