Any EOS camera with live view works better for macro focusing than the 2x magnifier. I have a Canon 5D MK II and the Leica R 2x magnifier. It is a class B fit and not worth the effort when live view works so well.

If this is the one that fits an R8/9 (and as you'd expect) it is optically and mechanically superb. I use it all the time for macro; and other difficult angled shots. Love it. > & > Anyone know if it's a complete P.I.T.A. to get one to fit an EOS Body? Never considered putting it on the 5D I'd imagine it would be some sort of P.I.T.A. though I'll take a look over the weekend.
