Review Laowa 100mm Ultra Macro

Chris,
Many thanks for sharing your review here - clearly lots of work has gone into your video.
Macro is not something I do for the day job, but I do like to mess around (badly, mostly) in my downtime - seems like an interesting lens, as well as pretty high quality.

Here's my dream: Canon announces new 100 mm f/2.8 Macro lens with 2X Macro, Image stabilization, and built-in LED macro lights.
Laowa 100 does seem like a nice 2X macro lens to play around with, with more practical uses than my Canon MP-E 65mm.

That lens would have terrible focus breathing if they keep it the same lenght, a 60-ish mm would be more manageable for 2x magnification.
