Amazon.com Product Description
Bring small things into full-sized view with the Canon EF 60mm macro USM lens. Macro lenses can uncover detail that would be impossible to detect by the eye and give new perspective to extremely minute subjects such as insects or the petals of a small flower, and this lens is no exception. The 60mm lens offers an angle of view that's equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera, along with a floating optical system that can focus down to life-size 1:1 magnification. The inner focusing system, meanwhile, is driven by a silent and powerful ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM), meaning the lens's overall length never changes during focus. Ultimately, the multi-purpose lens is equally at home shooting macro shots, portraits, or available-light photos. Like all Canon EF-S lenses, this lens is restricted to the EOS 20D, EOS Digital Rebel, and EOS Digital Rebel XT cameras. - Focal length: 60mm
- Maximum aperture: 1:2.8
- Lens construction: 12 elements in 8 groups
- Diagonal angle of view: 25 degrees
- Focus adjustment: Manual
- Closest focusing distance: 0.65 feet
- Filter size: 52mm
- Dimensions: 2.9 inches in diameter, 2.8 inches long
- Weight: 11.8 ounces
Product Description
A thoroughly modern design that's 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) magnification. Inner focusing, driven by a silent and powerful ring-type USM, means the lens' overall length never changes during focus. This lens is a wonderful multi-purpose lens that's equally at home shooting macro shots, portraits or available-light photos.

 great lens August 28, 2008
A. Siegl
I received this lens for my birthday and took some flower pictures before I went and then a bunch of pictures while on vacation. this is a great lens for multipurpose walking around. It is lighter than my telephoto zoom, takes sharp pictures with amazing detail. I would recommend it for a second lens to anyone who already has a zoom. I am looking forward to setting up to photograph my mother-in-law's artwork with it as well.
BRILLIANT July 26, 2008

I am an amateur camera guy - so you won't get any technical words from me.
Excellent lens - sharp image - light (as compared with the 100mm). Should be part of everyone's kit particularly if you enjoy both portrait and macro work.
Great macro lens! July 14, 2008

I got this lens cheap on auction site (you know where). I used it with my XTi, and the difference between this baby and the kit 18-55 is huge! Image by the kit lens is dark and grainy, the color is so off. This 60mm creates very nice bokeh, great for outdoor. I took some very nice raindrop pictures. I don't know how better L lenses are, but for normal Joe like me, this lens is definitely the keeper and well worth the price.
Great macro lens June 5, 2008

As a beginner photographer I hesitated to spend the money on this lens, but am very glad I did. It does just what I want it to do and the images turn out great. I would recommend this lens to anyone interested in a macro from Canon.
Amazing Lens - especially for the price. May 2, 2008

This is a great lens - doesn't feel cheap, and the movement is so smooth. Perfect clarity, even handheld. Very pleased.
