Is the canon mp e 65mm f 2 8 1 5x macro photo hard to focus manually?

Yes, it's manual focus only. The Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo has no autofocus, so you'll be turning the focus ring yourself the whole time. Since it goes from life size up to five times life size, the focus range is very narrow, and a tripod or a steady stance helps a lot.

I don't have anything on this site that rates how fiddly it is to focus by hand, so I'd rather not guess. The lens page lists every Canon EF body it fits, both full frame and APS-C, if you want to check that your camera is covered. If you're new to manual focus, the Your first camera guide is a better starting point for building a kit.
