I think the camera companies, editing, and printing assume everyone knows all about it. I think they are missing the boat with people who are new to it. I've looked at some tutorials and they seem to leave the newbie in the dust. But now we're starting a new thread. LOL That's the main reason cell phones are popular.....it's easy.

It can be fairly frustrating trying to learn all this stuff. I bet a lot of people weren't prepared for it.

I'm reading all this stuff and can't help thinking what a newbie might be thinking. He's probably selling all of his/her equipment as we speak. LOL

But they did mention the aperture range:

So, you understand the responses so far, right? br... (show quote)
LOL. I was questioning why they gave the "impression" that it might be JUST 2.8. I saw other ads for it that said just what you said. (f2.8 to f32) But they didn't mention "fixed f 2.8". If they had mentioned the aperture range I would have bought it. Like I said, I have the EF L version of this lens. I was wondering if this might be something different. Well as it turns out the lens has been sold. I'm out of luck for now. I put my name on a waiting list. Thanks Paul.....and everyone else who helped out.

It is a poorly written sales listing. Seems to have a few errors and ambiguities and possibly unintentional non-sense. But it seems like an interesting and nice lens at what seems to me like a good price. You should buy it if it will serve your needs. 
I have the EF 100mm 2.8L but it uses the adapter on my R5. I have yet to buy an RF lens and thought this would be an opportunity to do so. I'm pretty sure I can sell the EF since it too is an excellent lens.

To me it means that you get 2.8 and 2.8 only. who the hell would want that? LOL

Canon has a refurb RF 100MM fixed 2.8 macro lens for sale. What do they mean my fixed? Maybe I'm not up on new terminology. It wouldn't be the first time

I wonder if the spider would hold its pose long enough to do focus stacking.
LOL. another thing you MIGHT try is to focus on a part of the body that is more towards the "center" of the subject. "perhaps" you gave up some focus area in front of the subject. Did you use spot metering? Or step back a touch.
