Description

The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM is a lens suitable for all Canon EOS cameras with an APS-C format sensor and an EF-S lens fitting. This macro lens allows you to make close-ups and capture the details of your subject sharply. The lens has a fixed large maximum aperture of f/2.8. This results in much depth of field in your photographs and it makes your subject stand out from the background. The lens comes with a silent focusing motor for quick and silent automatic focus. This comes in handy when you want to make close-ups of butterflies or birds.

Gem of a lens

Fair value for money
Sharp lens
Focuses quickly and quietly
No Image Stabilizer

The Canon EF-S 60mm F/2.8 Macro USM is really worth every penny! It arrived on Wednesday last week, and because of the good weather I unpacked it and used it immediately. And that... was DEFINITELY worth it! He feels solid. I had looked up reviews of various lenses and it came back regularly that this lens is a very good macro lens to start with. Nice is that during manual focusing, you also get an indication that the lens is effectively focused. The USM motor allows you to focus very quickly and quietly in AF. There is one downside: it does not have an Image Stabilizer, this would be nice especially for hand-pulling, although this is not necessary for a tripod.

But otherwise it is highly recommended! :D

amazing detail, comfortable focal distance
slow focus in auto mode.

An excellent lens beyond any comparison. I wanted to shoot more than normal shots. I was surprised with the results, beautiful. A comfortable distance for portraits. Yes, for 1:1 you have to be close, sometimes not very comfortable, but if you have a tripod, you can reach closer without handshake. It can also capture fast moving objects because of F2.8. I was amazed by the detail captured, I took pictures of insects, flowers, people, dogs. Pictures are completely mesmerizing. However, I thought autofocus was a little slow, but when I shoot in manual mode, every shot is a perfect shot and quick. The distance reading helps a lot for manual focus. I will recommend it to anybody that can afford it :-)

Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens

Attractive price.
Optically a great lens.
Nice lens for portraits.
Lens has no image stabilization.

Lens purchased after testing in Focus. Fine lens, focuses very quickly thanks to the USM motor, but can also be focused completely accurately by hand. The focal length of 60 mm seems short, but because of the crop factor of the APS-C sensor of 1.6, this is converted to a full-frame lens with a focal length of 96 mm. And that is an ideal lens for macro, but certainly also for portraits. Unfortunately, it does not have image stabilization. This would be a very welcome addition, especially for macro shots where there is a shortage rather than an excess of light. The lens provides sharp, clear images and opens up a new world for the macro photographer.
