Brand: Canon

Located in: Photography, Camera Lenses

A thoroughly modern design that's optimized for select Canon EOS digital SLRs. Its angle of view is equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera, with a floating optical system that can focus down to full life-size (1:1) magnification. Inner focusing, driven by a silent and powerful ring-type USM, means the lens' overall length never changes during focus. This lens is a wonderful multi-purpose lens that's equally at home shooting macro shots, portraits or available-light photos. Like all Canon EF-S Lenses, its use is restricted to the EOS 20D, EOS Digital Rebel and EOS Digital Rebel XT cameras

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

I just recently purchased this lens for my wife and she is in love with it. We got it just in time for spring so she could use it for flower photography. She has already tested it out on the early flowers and has been amazed at the quality. On our latest trip to the botanical gardens, she took some pictures of tiny flowers about the size of a quarter and they came out crystal-clear showing details that we couldn't see with our bare eyes. Also, the depth of field makes for really great professional looking photos (great for portraits of people, food, etc).
