I am still using EF mount 100mm with adapter.Beautiful pictures and nice write up on the lens.
I agree there haven't been many gear posts. I'm a Canon shooter and I'll be upgrading to the 5R soon. When I do I've been planning to ask if anyone else has switched from the EF to RF mount for the 100 2.8.
I'm excited to try focus stacking with it.

The shots are absolutely stunning!I don't see many gear oriented threads or discussions which could help members in their search for new cameras or lenses... so will be starting a few.
I just upgraded my Nikon 105 DSLR Lense to its mirrorless counterpart the Nikon Z 105 VR S.
was a bit reluctant to upgrade as the added cost wasn't really justified as I could still use my old Lense on my mirrorless new camera. yet the overall advice was that the new mirrorless 1-5 macro is much better than its older non mirrorless one and the u[grade was advised by many.
its still my first shoot with the new Lense so will take a bit of time to get more used to it and here are my first impressions:
-New lense seems lighter than the older one (usually a plus ) yet it worries you in case construction is more plasticky or glass elements are lower quality, but this isn't the case at all with the new lense.
-Lense does have a small screen that can show you aperture or magnification ratio.... nice to have but not really important. it does also have a button on the side that can be programmed, haven't worked with it but focusing or focus peaking from a button on the lense seems like a good idea especially on a macro Lense.
-lense is a bit slower to focus, could be that I'm still not used to it or that I'm using he wrong focusing method (many new focusing methods on the Nikon Z7ii and I belive all other mirrorless nikon cameras and I'm not yet very familiar with them. yet focusing accuracy is amazing and much better than the older lense . So a bit of slow focusing is not a huge deal in macro photography. again its not that the camera haunts focus to no end but I feel its a bit slower.
-for those into magnification ratios, lense cannot keep 1:1 at all subject distance, believe this is the case of all Nikon lenses but not sure if other manufacturers have the same. no biggy as I'm not after a 1:! ration necessarily all the time and the Z7ii i went for has a load of Mp to crop and get more magnification.
-sharpness: was a real surprise to me. the older version was a very sharp lense yet this model seems sharper.
-Bokeh or the soft background is amazing. a bit early to judge but believe its smoother than the older version.
-colors: the real advantage and what made me so happy i upgraded. the colors are very rich (Nikon seems to be something very right in most of their mirorless lenses series but in the case of the 105 this is extremly clear.
A few shots from my first use of the camera, not perfect as I still have a learning curve with this one.
A few examples from my first shoot with it using a Nikon z7ii body. Feel free to add some examples of yours shot with same lense or other ones and please indicate which lense you used and on which body
