Comments about Canon Canon 60 mm EF-S f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

I just bought a Canon 50D and know nothing about photography. I got the 60mm macro lense and people think I have been taking close-up photograhs for years! Great lense and super easy for beginners especially when paired with the awesome 50D.

Comments about Canon Canon 60 mm EF-S f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

The sharpest canon lens I have ever used bar none. This is even the case with the lens wide open. Additionally this lens has several combinations of functionality that no other macro lenses:1. it can shoot at 1:1 macro with the built-in flash without casting a shadow. This is a huge plus when traveling light.2. it is the most compact macro lens I have ever used.3. the focal length and fantastic bokeh make this lens a great portrait lens.4. the USM focusing system in quick, accurate and almost completely silent (won't scare little critters away)If you are interested in seing many images see any of my macro photos at [@]

after using other macro lenses the size and sharpness of this one is the plus. it is well balanced in the focus and action and allows me to have a good range and control over my positions as I am shooting.
I looked at the 100 series, but the length and size of the lense made it difficult as I have severe arthritis in my hands. This 60 gives me more macro for the shot and allows me to free shoot without using a tripod.

would buy this lens again,allthough i am still waiting for it to come in, right now it is on backorder. but knowing canon lenses i know it will be an excellent ad on to my camera outfit and i am very excited to get it. i think the price is steep but quality does cost. and if you want great pictures spend the money now. because a offbrand lens is not the same as canon lenses

This lens has NO equal...

1.It is super compact so much so that it allows you to shoot at even 1:1 and the lens will still not cast a shadow on the subject with the built in flash.

2. The lens is tack sharp even wide open (obviously within the very shallow depth of field). Many other, more expensive, macro lenses are not as sharp wide open.

3. It's lightweight but excellently balanced weight makes is great for shooting while hand-holding your camera.

4. On a crop body this lens makes a fantastic portrait lens. Sharp while still have GORGEOUS bokeh (out of focus background) because of the rounded aperture blades.

5. Completely silent USM focusing that is VERY fast for a macro lens (these are usually very slow)

I am a visual artist creating a variety of styles and sizes. I recently photographed a series of 6' paintings and the next night photographed 5" x 7" drawings. The 60mm F/2.8 EF-S macro lens handled both series sharply and effortlessly.

Comments about Canon Canon 60 mm EF-S f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

I use this lens as a general walkabout lens as well as a macro and portrait lens. At 60mm it is close to 'what the eye sees,' which is usually 50mm. It has a wonderfully shallow DOF and the final results need only the slightest sharpening (as do all RAW files).

Portraits are intimate and emotional, macro is crisp and plenty close for most applications.

It could only be improved if it were stronger for low light conditions. Having said that, it is stunning on tripod, small aperture and long exposure.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT BY CANON.

Comments about Canon Canon 60 mm EF-S f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

This is an amazing lens. Quick and clear! Great for macros and right at the sweet spot with APS-C for portraits. 2.8 is fast and gives razor thin depth of field for macros and beautiful blur. One of my favorite lens.

Comments about Canon Canon 60 mm EF-S f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

One of the best lenses I have bought, period. This lens has optics that are on par with L-series lenses from Canon. The only reason it isn't labeled as such is because it has an EF-S mount. This lens will give you extremely close working distance and produce the sharpest pictures you've ever seen. The build is amazing, and the full-time manual focusing is a huge plus. The ring-type USM is fast and accurate. MTF charts are, no pun intended, off the charts. Many of my best pictures are taken with this lens. If you have any interest in macro photography, this is the lens to beat.
