Good one! The 'ol mpe65 is discontinued, and moving on, I fear. A good replacement is the Venus/Laowa 2.5-5x, which I have (and it practically lives on my camera now), and the Mitagon Zongyi “Creator” 85mm 1x-5x. That one had serious issues early on, but supposedly they are fixed now. Both are fully manual.
i have been thinking about the Venus/Laowa 2.5-5x what is the distance from the lens to the subject at 3x1
