Re: RF 100mm Macro - one week review

Hey Jay, thanks for the review. I didnt know the new one went to 1.4x mag. I just never bothered looking because I have the EF version and its been fine with the adapter. I was planning on buying the mpe65, but I may just have to sell my ef100 for the rf too now. I also use the Raynox with it.

Actually looks like we shoot same stuff - birds and macro insects. Just followed your flickr acct - AMAZING gallery!! (user name ther is my real name, Dustin)

Quick question, I do have an R6 but primarily use my 80D for macro - will be the R7 soon I am able to focus on macro subjects handholding using servo with the 80d and it improved my hit rate - A LOT. Not happening with the R6 though - as Im sure you know, it just kind of gives up trying to focus if its too far out and I have to spin the ring so I have mostly gone back to the manual moving in and out to focus when i use r6. Does servo somehow work better with the RF version or something? I was surprised to see you say you were happy with the focus and you use it for macro.
