Buy Cheap Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR Cameras From Here Now!

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.

 "Very impressive" 2010-01-31
By T. Campbell (Dearborn, MI USA)
I've been shooting with one of these lenses for about 6 months now and so far I am extremely pleased with the performance of this lens. It's fast, quiet, and accurate auto-focus. It produces a nice soft background blur at f/2.8 when you want one. The lighting & focus are nice & flat from edge to edge, and focus is tack sharp. Macro shots provide juicy color & detail. The picture quality from this prime-focus lens rivals the quality produced by some of my L series lenses (but L series lenses generally start at around $1000 and go up from there.) Basically the price to quality value is extremely good.



A few have commented that they don't understand the point of having a 60mm macro when Canon already makes a 100mm macro. Macro lenses aren't *just* for macro work -- they also function as great "walking around" prime-focus lenses for quick shots that will look better than probably any zoom lens in the price range. 60mm is comfortable focal length for this. I can take portrait half shots and three-quarter shots of subjects without feeling like I need to walk back to the next room just to get the subject to fit in the picture.



I use this lens for macro work, food photography, portrait work, and walking-around candids.



If I were to lose this lens, it would definitely be on my list of lenses that I would buy again.

 "Simply Superb!" 2010-01-20
By D. Warnecke
This lens is just about perfect, and I don't throw that word around much. It yields blistering sharpness across the frame even at f/2.8 with punchy colors and great contrast. AF is pretty quick for a macro lens and silent as not to disturb the insects or other little critters you may be photographing. The build quality is sturdy with a nice texture on the barrel and a good feel to the focus ring. This lens functions as my portrait lens as well and does a good job kicking backgrounds out of focus at f/2.8 while rendering the subject with remarkable sharpness and clarity. In fact, it may be too sharp for some portrait work, you could count the pores on the subject's skin! You can't go wrong with this lens. I consider it a "must buy" for anyone with a Canon EF-S compatible camera.

 "Excellent Lens for the Money" 2010-01-09
By A. Holmes (Hartford, CT USA)
This is a great lens for jumping into the world of macro photography. I was completely amazed at the quality that this lens delivered.



There are more expensive and higher quality lens out there for macro photography, but for the average user (not in the professional field) this is the best choice.



You will not be disappointed by this lens.



The only thing I find a bit weird is that there is no "zoom" with the lens, but that is to be expected with a macro lens of this type. The zoom is in tune with the focus of the lens.

 "Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8" 2009-12-02
By J. MARKS (St. Charles, MO)
This lens was recommended by an underwater photographer who takes awesome pictures. I had also read reviews stating this is a great lens for every day use. I am very impressed with the picture quality and the fact that I don't have to get as close to the subject to get a great macro shot.
