CP, AP, MS, TCW all carry Minolta/Sony mount compatible 3rd party lens (like Tamron and Sigma), just a matter of selection is good or not

You can check on
Sigma Lens Price List
Tamron & Tokina Lense Price List

Generally, the dedicated macro lens are much cheaper than Minolta/$ony lens price.

I remember someone is selling a Tamron macro lens in B&S?

There is the Tamron 180mm f3.5 Macro as well for around the same price. The Minolta 200mm f4 not only expensive but one of those rare Minolta lens. SONY not releasing it. You will not be able to get it at second hand price for the price paid for a new Sigma/Tamron 180mm f3.5 Macro.
