A specialty lens designed for extreme close-up imaging, the MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo from Canon lets you render subjects at up to five-times life-size magnification with a minimum focusing distance of 9.4". Dedicated solely to macro applications, this lens's unique design employs a floating elements system to maintain quality throughout the focusing range and one ultra-low dispersion element helps to control color fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity and color accuracy. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast. This 65mm f/2.8 is strictly manual focus operation only and features a removable rotating tripod collar for improved stability when working atop a tripod. Additionally, the front of the lens is designed to accept an optional Macro Ring Lite or Macro Twin Lite for greater, more even illumination of close-up subjects.

question
If i use this lens on a Nikon d800e body with the fovslxeosnik adapter will i be able to adjust the aperture?
The FotodioX Vizelex Canon EOS Lens to Nikon Camera Adapter with Macro B&H # FOVSLXEOSNIK does not pass electronic signals so no aperture adjustment is possible.

question
Can I adapt this lens to a Nikon F mount with a converter like the Fotodiox mount adapter?
The lens was designed to allow a Canon body to control the aperture electronically. To use the lens on any other body, you need a mount adapter with an integrated iris for manually controlling aperture.

question
Is canon MP-E65mm USA works well in Indian climate also or there is any problem? please inform the right answer.
The Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo Lens just as well as any lens in most climates, but it is not weather-sealed. If too much humidity or rain builds up outside the lens it could leak inside it and cause moisture problems that a weather-sealed lens may not encounter.

question
will it fit on a EOS M6?

question
I want to take Dental photos as well as general macro photos with high magnification(eg- flowers,insects). Can I use this lens for both? By dental photography, I mean to take the picture of whole set of teeth, not individual tooth.Or which is the better lens satisfying both(macro and 3:1 or 5:1 magnification)I have both full frame(5DmarkII) and crop frame sensors(canon 300D)
Great answers above. You'd also want to have that set of teeth removed from your victim's mouth... Even the slightest movement on their part will result in an out of focus shot. Maybe if they weren't breathing... ;-)
