I just received my RF 100 macro (after 2 months of waiting on my BH order) and I'm disappointed to see that full time manual focus doesn't seem to work with this lens. It works fine with my RF 70-200 f/2.8, but not with my new macro. I hoped it would magically start working on my R5 with 1.4 firmware, but no luck. I had no idea how much I used this with my old EF macro until it was taken away. Does anyone have any info on if/when the 100 macro will be updated to support full-time manual focus?

Full-time MF works with the RF 100mm Macro lens if you are using One-Shot AF, at this point it does not work when using AI Servo

My R5 is in AI Servo on the back button and my RF100 Marco has full-time manual focus. Note you have to enable the function in Menu -> AF (purple) Tab 5 -> Full-time Manual Focus -> ON
