You may want to go to NauticamUSA.com and look at the test charts for your camera sensor size and the lens you are using.
I have used the CMC-1 with the Olympus E-M1 and the Olympus 60mm macro lens a (120mm 35mm equiv.) At 1:1 the image is 17.3 mm on the long side with the CMC-1 at 1:1 the image size is 9mm on the long side.
Native working distance is about 98mm (3.85 inches) and with the CMC-1 it is about 22mm (.866 inches) and 2:1.
I have also used the SAGA +15 lens with the same camera and lens, with that C/U lens working distance is reduced to around 12-15mm or around (.5 inches). This may not seem like much but it makes a big difference with lighting and some subjects.
If you invest in the Sony 90mm macro I would think you would be better off with SMC than with CMC. This way if you upgrade from ASP-C to the full frame A7 line you won't need to upgrade C/U lenses later.

is that small a working distance with the zeiss 50 a pain in the ass? i feel like lighting from that distance and not scaring the animal away would be a problem no?
