The Sony SEL50M28 is a 50mm f/2.8 macro prime for Sony E-mount, priced at £449.00 and ranked ninth in this guide. It is the macro lens of the group: a 1:1 prime with a 0.16 m minimum focus distance, a 55 mm filter thread and a 4.4-out-of-5 rating from 172 Amazon ratings.

Its listing does not survive a cross-check either. Maximum Aperture is recorded as "2.8 Millimetres" — a distance, not an f-number — while Minimum Aperture is 16.0. There is a Screen Size field reading 55 Millimetres on a lens whose filter size is also 55 Millimetres. And the star breakdown on the page runs 65, 22, 5, 3 and 5, which adds up to 100 ratings against the 172 stated at the top. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing; we have not tested the lens ourselves.
