UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

A zoom macro would be my guess and would probably be the most useful. It would be easier to frame close up subjects more precisely than having to move a tripod back and forth. Either that of a TS-e macro to get more DOF up close.
A 2:1 macro could be useful too, but that's already possible with various combinations of tubes and/or tc's with certain lenses.
A 200 f2 DO macro? That sounds like a gimmick that nobody would buy. It would cost at least $5K probably. There's not enough DOF at f2 at 200mm and 1:1 to be worthwhile.

The built-in 1.4x was assumed, but you are right, I should have specified it...
Might as well add some IS too.

Thank you for posting this Iintoni. Maybe I'll have to put magic lantern on my Canon T1i.

I have a love-hate relationship with the existing MP-E65 so would love to see something like that without its current operating characteristics. Biggest ones I'd like are: make it parfocal and can I have more working distance please? Well, any working distance at all. I have hit subjects when trying at higher magnification before... I'd say 100mm focal length minimum, preferably 150mm or more. I would be happy to lose a bit of maximum magnification if it helps, as I rarely find going above 3x to really give much more out.
At the other end of the spectrum, a lower magnification macro zoom would be nice. Imagine a 70-200 f/4 macro! I don't mind losing AF in the macro range, while still allowing the lens to be used as a normal telephoto.

I believe you are pretty close here......
I would have guessed a zoom macro...
but 2:1 and hybrid I.S. ... yum
that would be great....I never used f2.8 on my macros .... so f4 is fine.,..
how about a sliding extension tube......
and a 1.4x
///////
so is it about $500 for each feature....
yikes
my first lens was the macro 100mm with a 20D.....
left at sunrise...
I didnt come home til it was dark......
I wondered why the 180 macro didnt get replaced ...with I.S. ...
I guess I wont be getting a new guitar.......

Parfocal applies to a zoom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parfocal_lens
Are you asking for the MP-E65 to be in focus as you move the lens in closer or further away? That's a depth of field issue, and its limited by physics, which is why someone suggested a stepper motor for stacked images. You will have to focus a lens when you move it closer or further away.
