Macro lens recommendations requested for R series

I considered the OP's choice and like others, went with the RF 100 f2.8 L. I'm fairly new to macro so have had some difficulties, especially with AF all of which I think are due to my poor abilities in that genre but are also less than if I went with EF AF or MF in any lens. My attempts at MF on even slow moving animals such as lingering butterflies are all failures.

This is partly due to me entering the game now when temps are, even overnight here, over 20C meaning there are no times when insects are lethargic. If I was only snapping static objects, such as flowers in a greenhouse with the camera on a tripod, I'd likely go MF.
