All of these lenses the Canon 180, Sigma 180, 150 and the Canon 100 and Sigma 105 I assume are much more practical for nature macro photography then the MPE-65?
The MPE-65 looks absolute impressive but it seems like it is only good for things like coins and micro machines then anything that possibly might move.
Absolutly not!
Take a look at what goes on in the macro forum sometime.
Below for example some greenfly with the MP-E 65mm handheld in the field (well garden in this case) about 4:1 magnification.

Plenty more examples on my web page and others. it is a more demanding lens, but it is practicle.
Again handheld in the field, (Midget) Mining Bee ~12mm Long, subgenus Micrandrena.
