Welcome to the forum.

Probably depends what you mean by 'physically on top of'. Most 60mm macro lenses will give you about 2-3 inches of working distance (front of lens to subject). I prefer the 100mm-ish focal lengths which give a bit more working distance, maybe 5 to 7 inches.Of course, that makes the price go up.

That said, I don't think there's a bad modern macro lens. They're all in the very good to excellent range. You pays your money, and you takes your choice.
