I like the detail getting in close. The Venus is lens is really good for it.

I must admit I now keep thinking about one ...
But having not long bought the Canon 100mm IS I guess I'll have to "behave" for a bit

edit, which particular one do you use Paul, just curious ( for now at least )

Didn't know they were still trading.

Remember it's full manual and not all Canons using live view show the subject on the screen when are trying to focus. No idea about other brands.

Thanks for the heads up Paul
Yes Canon here, and TBH I rarely use live screen anyway.

The Canon version of the Laowa (Venus) 100mm 2;1 macro is chipped (it is the only one that is chipped), so you focus wide open. Still manual focus though. I'm using it on a Sony A7ii with a 2X TC and I'm getting enough of a focus peaking signal to get a relatively (<< relatively ) high hit rate. Unfortunately the isn't the case with my 70D. Maybe with the OVF it would be better though - I almost never use a viewfinder.

Thanks for that Nick
I'm still debating as to whether or not, all this helps
