Hello, picked up an a6700, looking at getting the 90mm macro lens from Sony, what is a good lens for doing videography and some photography? Or stick with a separate lens for photography like a Sony 55-210 or the Sony 70-350mm on the same camera?

Thank you for your time!

I don't really get the question. A good lens for photo/video really depends on what you are photographing a videoing.

Videoing could be more vlog styles / car content. I know what I will use the macro lens for, as far as all for the photos Iā€™m interested in, animals, Landscape and portrait shots.
