Product reviewsCanon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 EF-S USM Lens (0284B007AA)

Excellent entry level macro lens

Although this lens has been around for a while it still has a performance to give good service as a macro / portrait lens. No stabilisation or f-stop limiters, but the USM focusing is ultra-fast which helps with fast moving macro subjects, especially in multi-shot mode. Sharpness is incredible for a lens of this price and it also has a maximum f2.8 aperture making low depth of field portraits easy. Nice and light too - could easily be left on the camera as a standard lens. A good second-hand example is great value.Read full review...

Something missing...

Don't get me wrong it's a great lens for macro work but i'm a luxury watch dealer and for me it still couldn't quite do the job. For example; if im shooting at say around 15cm away and trying to get the dial of the watch in focus it will only focus on a certain part and blur the rest. This is great for singling out objects but not if you want to focus on the whole object. Even changing the aperture to 18+ it just about does the shop but then its not as sharp. Still a good lens though but it's certainly only mid range.Read full review...

One of the best lenses I have ever owned. Very sharp lens.

I bought this lens to get sharper close up images than is possible with the eos500d kit lenses with extension tubes. The 18-55 kit lens is sharp at its mid-range but soft at 55mm. The 55-250 kit lens is also very sharp from its mid range to full zoom, but soft at the lower end (55-70). This 60mm prime macro lens fills the gap between the two.
It is a solid lens, reasuringly heavier than the kit lenses and returns very sharp images from f4-f11. The 60mm focal length is ideal on an APS-C camera being equivalent to a full frame 96mm. Focusing is quick, accurate and quiet.
I have no regrets about buying this lens and it has become an essential part of my kit.Read full review...

Canon ef-s 60mm

I can not say that this lens is not excellent and may be good, that I marked it is not a fare marking. The reason behind it is because I have not used it a lot. Where I have used it I liked it very much. Yes I would reccomend it to others to buy it. I found it easy to use, and very good on micro and face photographs. Thats what this lens is made for. With my Canon EOS 50D I found it okey. You need a tripod and a remote switch to have excellet results. I am still learning from it, and I am happy that I bought this lens.Read full review...

ef-s 60mm f 2.8

Nice lens not yet used a lot. If I could pick a fault it would be that other lenses would be a lot better from distance than this. ie picture of a bee on a flower. Still good in your bag.

Canon 60mm EF-S Macro Lens

A very good macro lens. Crisp detail through all the aperture settings. Light-weight and easy to operate (I prefer the manual setting for most of my shooting). The lens was a real find at the price I paid. A great site to look for high quality products.Read full review...

A crisp, fast and razor sharp lens

I had looked at reviews and comments on many lenses when I decided to upgrade my Canon 50mm f1.8 II portrait fixed lens for my EOS 40D. I could no be happier with the choice. It is of really solid construction, super fast autofocus and has provided some razorsharp images at f2.8. Very pleased with this Canon lens and I would recommend it to anybody. I paid €302 on eBay, a vey good eal.Read full review...
