The EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM from Canon sports a clean, modern design, and is also reasonably compact, too!The manual focus ring on the EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM isn’t massive, but it’s a pretty good size, with a finely grooved, rubberised grip. There...

Many macro lenses are bulky, taking up more room in your gadget bag than youd like, and weighing you down in the process. By comparison, the Canon EF-S 60mm is as small and light as the average prime lens of the same focal length. Specially designed f...

The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM macro is a fairly recent addition (2005) to the Canon lens line-up. The EF-S naming refers to Short-back focus design featuring a protruding rear element which requires a special mirror design to avoid a collision of mirr...
The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM macro is a high performance lens with next to perfect resolution figures across the image frame which is only limited by diffraction effects. Lateral CAs as well as distortions are not field relevant. Unfortunately there'...

The Canon EF-S 60/2.8 Macro lens enables photography down to a magnification of 1:1, which means that you can fill the final RAW or JPEG file with a subject the same size as the APS-C sensor inside a Canon Digital Rebel, i.e., 15x22mm. A Popular Photog...

(From Canon lens literature) A thoroughly modern design thats optimized for select Canon EOS digital SLRs. Its angle of view is equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera, with a floating optical system that can focus down to full life-size (1:1) magn...

This is Canon’s first macro lens dedicated to APS-C sized sensors, so is geared towards cameras such as the EOS 30D or 350D. The focal length on a Canon camera is extended by 1.6x, so this lens offers the equivalent of 96mm. Because it...

In a Nutshell This Canon 60mm macro is optically spectacular. It works well and has no downsides, other than being only 60mm and only working on the 1.6x sensor cameras. If you really want to use this for macro, for only about $80 more the Canon 100mm...

I have to admit, when the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens was announced, I was less than enthusiastic over a new short focal length macro lens compatible only with the EF-S lens mount Digital SLRs. But now that Ive had a chance to use it, I think...

When I purchased the EF 100mm f/2.8, I put aside the 50mm. You can?t beat a lens that goes all the way to life-size, especially when you add internal focusing and much faster and quieter autofocus. I also worked with the extraordinary MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1...

Test NotesAs you'd expect from a prime, the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 macro delivers superior sharpness over a wide range of aperture settings. Wide open, its just a little on the soft side, but just one stop down at f/4, it's "prickly sharp," and very sharp...
