Have an issue where i seem to have lost most of the AF points when i fit my macro lens and i don't know why??

I tried a couple of other lenses and i have all AF points available with those which makes it all the more confusing. I've been through all the menus and cannot see why it would be only the macro lens thats effected, even reset the camera to factory defaults but nothing will make the missing AF points reappear. Tried searching the internet for a solution but can't find anything similar to what i am getting.

Hence this post, anyone got any ideas as to why this has suddenly happened or a solution?

For reference i get the center block of 5 by 3 AF points then a triangle of AF points each side of 5, 3, 1.

Any help would be appreciated, i suppose its something simple but damned if i know what.
 
Yeah seems i am just being a numpty / it's too early and i'm not awake, checked some other pics and they show the same AF points. Coulda swore i'd used the outer ones before, guess not :bonk:.

Move along nothing to see here just me being a plonker :nono:
 
Oddly enough yesterday I put the 100mm on and thought, I'm sure there are more AF points, but then I was very ill!
 
I found this comment online

See the user manual p.79 to p.84

Never noticed this before and I was a bit surprised
 
Yup seems thats all the AF points i get with my macro lens, honestly never noticed the difference before.

Seems we learnt something new :).
