We (my wife and I) have no experience with r7. I have read about it and it sounds pretty interesting, especially that it can focus bracket, which is what a macro shooter likes. The ef100 is a good lens, we use it a lot. It has a few issues with chromatic aberration on very contrasty edges, but it is very sharp and the color rendering is good. One thing I would consider is what kind of macro you are going to shoot. If critters with flash, then 100 mm on crop sensor would make a very fine combination. If you however are going to shoot macro without flash, then I'd suggest to take a closer look at R7's noise issues. In macro, in most of the cases, you miss light. We often shoot at ISOs 1600-3200 with our 5d IV without flash and it handles that well. We used to have an 80 d and the noise was a problem. Good luck!
