Sony do now make a macro lens for the NEX-5 but the cheapest way is using a reversing ring like this one: -
The 18:55 lens does not have manual aperture controls. If you want to choose the aperture, I believe you have to set the aperture manually with the lens mounted normally and then remove and reverse the lens . Have a look at the 'Macro Test' set here - taken using the eBay reversing ring and the 18:55mm OSS zoom: -

By the way, the SEL30M35 macro lens is the best way but costs a bit more!!!
