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.

Nothing

Poor focus; No IS

Many macro lenses are bulky, taking up more room in your gadget bag than you'd like, and weighing you down in the process.

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.

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.

Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Nice Bokeh; Price; Strong Construction

Slow Focus

I am a food photographer, and for years, I did almost all my shoots with my 24-105mm f/4. I love that lens and it does a great job, but it can't get very close. Whenever I'm shooting some small dish like an appetizer or a dessert, I'd end up having to frame way wider than I'd like and I'd have to...

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.

Fantastic; clean; sharp images; good build quality; almost silent AF

I wish I'd have bought the 100mm

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).

Extremely sharp; It can actually serve two purposes for you: macro and portrait; Lighweight and well built

None; except for EF-S mount; not compatible with full frame cameras

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.

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.

Objektivet är ljusstarkt; Ger skarpa och bra bilder; "Äkta" 1:1 Makro; USM betyder som vanligt snabbt och tyst

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...

I love this lens it is so cool the 18-270mm of this lens is very cool and the lens is very nice and the discount I got is very good I liked getting rewarded in this manner.
