One of the things I like the most about this lens is its portability. If you are a nature photographer, this lens will allow you not to miss macro shots in the field if you are taking with you heavier gear. It fits anywhere!
Pros:
  • Superb Image quality
  • 1:1 macro
  • multifunctional (macro and portraits)
  • WEIGHT
  • build
  • bokeh
Cons:
  • Only EF-S
  • does not take KENKO Extension tubes directly

Price too high!

Very good lens, but the price asked is way too high for this lens. You could get it for less than $500 at Best Buy, Future Shop and most camera equipment outlets.

Out of the box performance for newbees!

I just bought a Canon 50D and know nothing about photography. I got the 60mm macro lense and people think I have been taking close-up photograhs for years! Great lense and super easy for beginners especially when paired with the awesome 50D.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Lightweight
  • Quick Focus
  • Sharp Focus
Cons:
  • No zoom

I'd buy this lens again

I take lots of candid shots of my family, for printing and framing, or creating photo albums. I also use it for fun closeups of food. Im still getting used to the focal length. I still find myself backing up to compose portrait shots, but it's not like it's completely useless for indoor use.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Quick Focus
  • Sharp Focus

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
