Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Canon EF-60mm f2.8 Macro DSLR lens- I love it
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this 60mm Macro lens. I have had this lens for a little over 30 days. I have shot about 3000 images using my Canon 40D.
I find the lens to be great for macro work and I have also produced some very good portraits using this lens.
The images are very sharp, and I like being able to use the manual focus even when in AF mode.
I really like this lens and do not regret the purchase. I think it is a great lens for the price.
I have already recommend this lens to several friends.
The only negative factor is the AF in very low level light.
Customer Review: Wow, novice photographer and I notice the difference!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read and re-read reviews for weeks and weeks trying to select a macro lens for my Canon XTi. I am a "hobby" camera buff who recently upgraded from the original digital Rebel, and have only used kit lenses in the past. To me, the kit lens was fine. This past Summer I started playing with Macro flower shots, and wanted more. Well, this lens came today and all I can say is WOW! The difference in clarity and sharpness is absolutely amazing, and was apparent from the first shot. To be sure, I did some test shots with both lenses, and the 60mm is a , pardon the pun, clear winner. Can't wait for Summer!!!Customer Review: Outstanding Macro!
Summary: 5 Stars
This EF-S lens is an outstanding addtion to any user of Canon's "small sensor" cameras, from Rebel to 7D! Its focal length of 60mm is not only a terrific Macro lens for all but the most "jittery" subjects such as small insects, its 35mm camera equivalent of 96mm makes it an ideal, relatively fast portrait lens too! A true "two-fer" at a very reasonable price. Optically, it offers superior performance in both macro and prime lens mode. After using it for a couple of months, I am continually impressed with the versatility and fine image quality of this lens. I heartily recommend it without reservation!Customer Review: Excellent Lens for the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great lens for jumping into the world of macro photography. I was completely amazed at the quality that this lens delivered.
There are more expensive and higher quality lens out there for macro photography, but for the average user (not in the professional field) this is the best choice.
You will not be disappointed by this lens.
The only thing I find a bit weird is that there is no "zoom" with the lens, but that is to be expected with a macro lens of this type. The zoom is in tune with the focus of the lens.
Customer Review: Excellent macro lens.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great macro lens for a pro or a beginer. It produces very sharp photos, and works great for a semi-telphoto lens and close up portraits. I love this lens for the fact that you can use onboard flash for 1:1 work, any other macro lens you will need alot of light or a dedicated macro flash for up close work. Great price for a macro/2.8 prime lens with USM and full time manual focusing.
Manual focus is recommended during 1:1 work, but it will still work in AF close to 1:1, the focus speed is very fast for normal lighting conditions.
