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

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

Pros:
- Fantastic
- clean
- sharp images
- good build quality
- almost silent AF
Cons:
- I wish I'd have bought the 100mm

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

Canon EF-S 60 mm f/2.8 Macro USM
The last EF-S lens, designed for a small APS-C sensor, that's left for our tests, is Canon EF-S 60 mm f/2.8 Macro USM. It's an instrument which, on small sensors, was to be the equivalent of a classic and already tested by us "hundred", so the EF 100 mm f/2.8 Macro USM model.
Pros:
- compact
- light and closed body
- outstanding sharpness both at the center and the edge of the frame from the maximum aperture
- small chromatic aberration
- very small coma
- negligible astigmatism
- fast
- silent and very accurate autofocus
Cons:
- vignetting's too large

Canon's EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens; An APS-C Lens That Lets You Get Closer
If I could, I'd spend all my time hunting down bugs and lizards and any other critters small enough to fit inside a macro lens. Simply stated, I love macro. So I couldn't wait to put the new EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens through its paces on my Canon EOS 20D digital SLR.

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.
