Hi Mike, it's completely manual, the working distance is good, obviously the DoF is paper thin at that magnification.

This is a full frame, untouched, straight out of the camera image, I think it's at X2 but not sure on that. The DoF can be clearly seen on the counter surface, the gold item is the edge of a Pound coin.

I would regard totally manual as a big plus for this type of work. It really needs focus stacking, which I will do once I get my bench made.

While UK Digital may not send to Canada, I would have thought Laowa would have an agent in Canada? I know of users of this lens in the US. I don't know how accessible the US retail is for Canadians.

Here is a thread from an enthusiastic US user.

D800, 1/20second, f5.6, ISO4000, very poor, mixed fluorescent and daylight lighting. Again hand held, D800 jammed against the counter.
