Re: the extending barrel - the Canon MP-E 65, undisputed King of all macro lenses[1], works in exactly the same way. It's really not a problem. As I said, at macro working distances you dial in the magnification you want first, then just rock forward and backward (we're only talking millimetres) until the subject is in focus.

[1] My opinion only, but I'm always right.
