"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...

great lens
As advertised, not the best price in town but good customer service and shipping. Excellent lens for macro or portrait work on crop sensor DSLR cameras. True to its reputation.
Pros:
- marco work
- portrait studio
- portrait location

Should almost be an "L" lens!
AMAZING! I bought this lens predominantly for close-up work but its sharpness, clarity and colour rendition is so good that I can't help using it as a general purpose lens, it's THAT good! Of course the fixed focal length is not ideal as a walk around, but I use it whenever I can.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

Great portrait and macro lens, for EFS Canon users.
Hello all, I bought the Canon 60mm macro for my 600D, to try my hand at macro shots in the garden and it performed very well. However I find it is a supurb portrait lens as well. In fact at the moment, I am more impressed with its super sharp portraits than anything else.
