Chinese manufacturer AstrHori is bringing another niche and cool lens to the RF mount, this time in the form of an RF 25mm f/2.8 2x-5x Macro lens. While you can still use the MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro lens on your RF camera, it's still a much more expensive way to go.

For that price it could be quite fun.

That reminds me, there was a little series I meant to post on the Fungi thread with the same subject shot with the M6II adapted to the 100mm Macro, the MP-E 65 and the Stemi. I just posted it here.
Fortunately, I have one here to test so I can look at the actual images I get from it.
A quick test with the lens on an RP [at 5x and f/5.6 on the lens ring] and with a stackshot rail suggests it could be good value for the money
I'll be sure to check how it compares with my venerable MP-E65 ;-)
