Great lens for DSLR cameras.
Bought this lens even though saving up for another one and I'm glad I did. Took a macro class to try the lens out and have some great photos. If your on the fence about this lens, get it, you won't be sorry, worth every penny!

Obviously it can only be used with aps-c sensors where it is good for portrait and product shots
Only problem with this lens is focus breathing. It is sharp across the frame with virtually no chromatic aberation. Obviously it can only be used with aps-c sensors where it is good for portrait and product shots.

Great for Jewelry
Disclaimer: I am not a professional photographer. I currently use this with a photo box for my jewelry photography and it does an amazing job. Sure, a 100mm Canon lens would likely give me better still photography, but unfortunately I need to do larger shots and videos in a short amount of time.

Great Macro lens
I bought this lens as a "Photography pack, it came with a canon camera remote and a lens cleaning pen.. I use it often amazing results, clarity is excellent, smooth noiseless auto focus.. you could just about catch a bacteria on a gnats bum with this beauty..

Love this Lens.
I'm so glad I got this lens. Its great for portraits and of course macro photography is wonderful with this lens. The back ground blur is so pretty with this lens. It hasn't left my camera since I purchased it 2 weeks ago. no IS, but i dont find it's an issue with handheld photo's.

Canon 60mm f/2.8 USM Review
This is Canon's first macro lens dedicated to APS-C sized sensors, so it's geared towards cameras such as the EOS 30D or 350D. The focal length on an APS-C sensor Canon camera is extended by 1.6x, so this lens offers the equivalent of 96mm.
Pros:
- Fast and quiet focus
- good image quality
Cons:
- Slower to switch between manual and auto focus

Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM
Great combo macro / portrait lens. Stop it down just a little and it's a gem. Several of the images I made with this lens have been made into popular landscape prints, posters, canvases. I'll get a surprise when I'm in a strange place walking down a hallway and see one of my images.
Pros:
- Great image quality from 3.5 on
- excellent AF on any body from the 40D on
Cons:
- A little soft wide open
