Macro lenses can uncover detail that would be impossible to detect by the eye and give new perspective to extremely minute subjects such as insects or the petals of a small flower, and this lens is no exception. The 60mm lens offers an angle of view that's equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera, along with a floating optical system that can focus down to life-size 1:1 magnification. The inner focusing system, meanwhile, is driven by a silent and powerful ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM), meaning the lens's overall length never changes during focus. Ultimately, the multi-purpose lens is equally at home shooting macro shots, portraits, or available-light photos. Like all Canon EF-S lenses, this lens is restricted to the EOS 20D, EOS Digital Rebel, and EOS Digital Rebel XT cameras.

The picture quality is sharp and the colors true. I'm excited about the range of photographic possibilities this lens opens up to me. Well worth the money. Rating: - Amateur enthusiast...LOVE the lens. INCREDIBLE lens, great for available-light photography, easy to figure out for someone with no formal training. Takes beautiful macro photos. Great advanced beginner multipurpose lens. Rating: - Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR Cameras I have no complain about this product at all. When ever I go, I always have this lens with me. You can see a lot of my macro picture on flickr. [...] Rating: - the best macro lens around I use this with my Canon dslr and the photos when focused correctly come out super sharp. I tend to use manual focus because if your taking photos of a bug, you want the face and eyes in the best focus not the back of the body which you'll get a lot of when using auto, which is why I said "focused correctly". This lens is super quiet when using the auto focus which is good so it doesn't scare away your subjects if your shooting bugs or animals. There is no stabilization so if you don't have a good steady hand you'll want to use some sort of tripod. The lens is heavier then it looks but still feels good. This lens is also good for general photos like portraits, landscape etc, my tests were super sharp in all aspects, but its 60mm so there's no zooming. I've tried lenses like Sigma and Tamron but the Canon really was by far the sharpest of all! Pros: Super sharp photos Auto and Manual focus Great Macro photos Fast Quiet AF Cons: No Image Stabilizer Macro AF not always perfect Expensive price tag although worth it so maybe its not a Con Rating: - Fantastic!!!! I have enjoyed this lens very much. It is the first new lens for my canon rebel. It is easy to use. The photos are very sharp. The lens is an improvement over the lens that came with the camera--clearer photos, bright colors, not just macro, but regular photos too. see more
