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.

Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM macro - Review / Test Report
The lens features a true IF ( internal focus ) design so the front element does not rotate and the length of the lens remains constant regardless of the chosen focus distance. Typical for ring-type USM lenses full-time manual override is always possible in one-shot AF mode.

Spend more and get a better lens!
I was excited to get this lens after a week of waiting for my order. Looks great out of the box so I was ready to connect and start shooting. I should have known this lens would be a problem when right away as I connected it to my T3i it was so tight I could barely rotate it to set it in place.
Pros:
- Nothing
Cons:
- Poor focus
- No IS

Great Macro Lens
The lens is extremely sharp. If you have the small sensor camera - definitely go for it. Do not forget the lens hood also (does not come as a part of the package).
Pros:
- Extremely sharp
- It can actually serve two purposes for you: macro and portrait
- Lighweight and well built
Cons:
- None
- except for EF-S mount
- not compatible with full frame cameras

Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM Macro review
Many macro lenses are bulky, taking up more room in your gadget bag than you'd like, and weighing you down in the process. By comparison, the Canon EF-S 60mm is as small and light as the average prime lens of the same focal length. Specially designed for the EOS 400D, it's at home with the camera.

Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM macro - Review / Test Report
The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM macro is a fairly recent addition (2005) to the Canon lens line-up. The naming refers to design featuring a protruding rear element which requires a special mirror design to avoid a collision of mirror and the rear part of the lens.

"A perfect entry level macro lens"
I purchased this lens as I started to become more and more interested in photographing bugs and insects close up. I decided on the this lens because it was the cheapest that Canon offered.
Pros:
- Fantastic
- clean
- sharp images
- good build quality
- almost silent AF
Cons:
- I wish I'd have bought the 100mm

great for dental photography
use with rebel xsi, mr-14 ring flash, aperature at 29 or 32 and shutter speed 1/60. get great depth of field and incredible detail
Pros:
- takes great before and after photos of patients teeth
- When I put patients pictures up on the screen, I can zoom in on the smallest detail and patients can clearly see and understand what I see
- The smallest details are clearly obvious.
Cons:
- will sometimes hunt for focus
- but I manual focus anyway

First New Lens Ever Purchased
I haven't had a lot of use with this lens yet but what experience I have has been extremely positive. I bought this to round out my kit and was allured by the macro capability. As someone who has never worked with a macro lens before it blew my mind to be able to get so close to subjects &:^D.
Pros:
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Nice Bokeh
- Price
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Slow Focus

Ett bra makroobjektiv för manuell fokus
Bra makroobjektiv som tyvärr falerar för "övrig fotografering" pga dålig autofokus. (Jag valde ett 105mm Sigma i stället, ett 105mm passar mig bättre för ren makrofotografering.) Ger skarpa och bra bilder.
Pros:
- Objektivet är ljusstarkt
- Ger skarpa och bra bilder
- "Äkta" 1:1 Makro
- USM betyder som vanligt snabbt och tyst
Cons:
- Som redan nämnts är autofokusen inte mycket att ha, men vid makrofotografering är det ju normalt manuell fokusering som gäller
- Men köper man ett 60mm objektiv har man nog tänkt sig att använda det till annat än enbart makro, 60mm betyder att man ofta behöver "gå närmare" objektet än vad som är...
