How we ranked them
We counted every ranked pick in published best-macro-lens guides for each mount. A pick counts only for the exact model, and only when it's the camera maker's own lens or a third-party lens the guide tags with that mount. Lenses are ordered by number of guides, then average position, then the standing of the best source (Digital Camera World first; then Amateur Photographer, Imaging Resource, Live Science and Space.com; then Sony Rumors, Wex and Capture the Atlas; then Finding the Universe; then everyone else). Maker blogs, kit pages, star-rating roundups, compatibility lists and unranked pages don't count. Stock, missing photos and missing shop links never change a rank.
