Digital camera reviews of Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Great Macro lens for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
This lens really is amazing, great colors, great detail. It took a long time to decide between this one and the EF 100mm Macro so for the extra $100 savings, I went this route. I mostly photograph flowers so the shorter range doesn't bother me too much, but looking back, I should have gone the 100mm route. I'm very happy with the construction, IQ, etc, but the extra reach would have been nice. Live and learn. I will say (as I always do with Canon lenses) that a lens hood would have been nice for the price (which is why only 4 stars). I bought a collapsable rubber one and it makes a great difference.

Summary of Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR Cameras
EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens with 35mm equivalent of 96mm * compatible with Canon APS-C sensor digital SLR cameras only * USM (ultra sonic motor) for fast, silent focusing * auto focus system allows full-time manual focus override with lens still in AF mode * ideal for close-up, portrait, and available light shooting * working distance: 3-1/2" from front of lens to subject at life-size (1:1) magnification *Bring small things into full-sized view with the Canon EF 60mm macro USM lens. 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.
