No, but you may like to see this review of it, which generally favorably compares it to the Canon mp-e 65mm: http://www.nickybay.com/2018/03/laowa-25mm-f28-25-5x-review-ultra-macro.html

I have the Laowa 60mm 2.8 2X macro lens and I have found it to be very well built and able to produce a high level of detail which is only limited by my ability to use it.

I would not hesitate a buy another Laowa lens and the Laowa 25mm 2.5 - 5 X is on my 'must have list'. The 25mm provides a wider field of view so it will help capture more of the surroundings which I find to be quite pleasing shooting in the field. The 25mm will require me to be closer to the subject and of course it is a manually operated lens.
