RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens from Canon With R5 Mark ii Mount Questions & Subject Suggestions

[Far-Out-Dude]

I am thinking of buying the  Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens to use With my R5 Mark ii Mount but have  Questions & looking for ideas for indoor Subject Suggestions. 

I want to give background that I just spent two and a half months in the hospital and will not be able to leave the home for about 3 months other than doctors visits due to both physical issues and my friends did not turn in my license plates for me (Their vehicle but was in my name as they are Mennonite and I drive for them) the way they said they would so my license is suspended for 96 days. I had planned to buy a  Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM for Winter landscape but since I can't leave the house I want to try another interest.

My questions are mainly about mounting the lens, I use a Wimberly 200 gimble and am not sure I can use the Canon Tripod ring mount with the gimbal or not and I am also looking at a  7" Macro Focusing Rail from Oben as I understand are more precise than the ring would be? I am also looking at the Godox Ring72 Macro Ring LED Light and wonder if I am going overboard with all the extra stuff to start?

My other problem is most of my Macro interest has always been outdoors, what can I shoot indoors that could be interesting? Maybe a bug or two, coins, my eye if I can catch it at the right angle to catch the curve in it are what I am thinking so far, but what would be some other ideas? Also any advise given would be appreciated. This is going to help me learn my R5 Mark ii more as well.

Yes, my wife - sorry that got edited out by accident before I posted, and thank you for the kind words.  I got so interested in the topic after seeing some of the pics I ordered a used E-mount 100mm Macro to try out.   I give up the 1:1.4 on the RF vs 1:1 on the E mount, and the softness slider. That said, I saw a side by side comparison of the two for astrophotography  and the E mount seemed the winner there.  I have started trying out some astrophotography as where I live has fairly good night skies.  I am also hoping I can shoot some interesting macro things handheld - guess I will see how that works out.

Enjoy the new lens, I debated going with the EF model, that way I could have used it with both my camera's, but just want to start building up some RF lenses. The 15-35 mm will be next, though that will have to wait until Fall now, between the camera and this lens and am 16mm I bought my finances are going to be tight. I need to find me a sugar mama.
