Do you mean f/5.6 at 1:1, or an f/5.6 that ends up somewhere between f8 and f11 at 1:1? There's quite a difference.
In the latter case, you're ending up near the diffraction limited resolution of a high pixel-count digital camera, which means you'd be better off shooting with just a 50mm and cropping.
the use case is product photography in a studio with controlled lighting
What sort of "product", and what sort of "controlled lighting"?
I'd like to work with one of those lenses, but instead I need 3 lenses, 50, 70 and 100 macro.
feature Wishlist:
- internal zoom for lens-mounted lighting
In a studio?
- no aperture ring, it's not useful for studio
I've been doing studio work for decades, and have always found an aperture ring useful.
- tripod collar for balanced mounting
Agreed.
- weather sealing not required
- absolute position focus ring and clutch (like sony 90mm macro)
- some kind of mechanism on the focus ring to limit focus range to any point
I can picture this mechanism. No one is going to build it.
You are making a basic engineering/product design mistake. You have a problem that you have not stated, and have crafted an elaborate solution in your mind that you are now asking someone to implement. The problem with such a situation is that your situation typically ranges from non-optimal to totally impossible.
Can you describe the problem you're trying to solve, instead?

The term "mirrorless" is totally obsolete. It's time we call out EVIL for what it is. (Or, if you can't handle "Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens" then Frenchify it and call it "LIVE" for "Lens Interchangeable, Viewfinder Electronic" or "Viseur électronique").
