Here is a quick focus stacked shot of a Dandelion I saw in the front yard.
All shot manual including focus. I don't see what some are saying about the manual focus with this lens. It really seems to be on par with any of my focus by wire lenses. A bit behind my CV lenses, but aren't all e focus by wire lenses?
Lighting is the inexpensive but very nice all manual Godox ML-150 ring light. On sale for $50 at B7H and Adorama right now.

This is a striking image. Are you using a black background? If not, how did you achieve such a smooth black backdrop.
I am shooting with a ring flash all manual exposure and focus. I dial down my exposure to eliminate all ambient light. If I shoot a frame without flash it is perfectly black.
Then I set the flash power to properly expose the subject. Since it is a ring light it only exposes the subject.
Result is a well exposed subject on an absolute black background.

"Focus on Shutter or Back Button Focus?" - I do not understand
It is a way of keeping AF from activating at the same time the shutter is pressed. It is often more accurate, controllable, and less problems of compatibilities. Many of the best photographers shoot this way all of the time.
Also try with a really high shutter speed or on a tripod with a two second timer. Since this lens has no stabilization it may be very slight movement that requires you to account for that with settings and technique.
