I bought the lens about a month ago but so far I only got one day to play with it. I took pictures of plants, flowers, lab specimen, and a couple or portraits to test the lens out and the pictures came out great. The focus, however, was a little slow. I wasnt sure if its because of the light condition or it's the lens. Anyway, considering the price, the lens is a good choice.

In addition to excellent macro I find it perfect for my pet photography. The lens is very sharp and I find it very good in low light.

Very clear close up pictures. Great for portrait too. I purchased a Canon 500D close up lens for this 60mm macro...supberb clarity and easy to focus manually..

For Christmas '11 I treated myself to a Canon EOS 60D and a handful of lenses. I chose this lens as a macro solution, and it really delivers. I originally anticipated only using it for extreme close-up work, however it quickly turned into my go-to lens for all kinds of interesting environments. Highly recommended.

Comments about Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

I currently bought the lens for close up photography such as baby photos, engagement close ups of the rings, etc, and also food photos.

The things that are just amazing about this lens are too much to talk about. The clarity is phenomenal and the pictures look outstanding and professional. I spent some time shooting a bowl of cherries that were recently washed in water and to be able to see the droplets of water running down the sides of the fruit was indescribable. This lens is a must whether it be for recreational use or professional use. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

A+++++++++++++

I believe I can pretty much retire my nifty fifty with this lens. So fast, quiet and sharp! As a portrait lens on a crop body it is wonderful, however as a macro lens the 100mm might have been a better option if you want more room between camera and subject. Still it's a good macro lens for still objects, and unless your absolute focus is to do macro only it is a nice versatile lens.

Comments about Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

While I admit I'm brand new to the world of post-cellphone photography, this lens has been absolutely amazing. The USM is very quiet, the auto-focus very reliable and spot-on, and the weight not too incapacitating. The shipment was quick, the emails helpful, and I would absolutely recommend this supplier and I'll certainly be buying from them again.

Amazingly sharp photos. Works great with Canon EOS XSi. B&H has the best price for this product, even for Canadians who pay customs fee.

Being my first dslr camera, this is also the first lens I have ever owned. I eventually decided on this one after reading a variety of reviews and comparing prices online.

Knowing only the basics of digital photography but having a decent knowledge of lenses and the physics of light, my comments should reflect this viewpoint.

It is a sturdy lens that I have already put through quite a bit of winter hiking, the temperatures and jostling that come with shooting macro in a dense Pennsylvania forest. I have actually had fun learning to use this lens, it is quite easy to fine-tune it into focus and provides you with a moderate working distance of a few inches (I believe the exact amount is in the detailed description.)

I can't think of anything to say against it that isn't already made obvious by the description of it. I use it for shooting as a hobby and I was willing to pay for the quality over other cheaper alternatives.

A solid lens overall, Canon quality, decent pricing.

Of course the good "field" for this lens would be portrait and macro world. That's why I bought it! And I tell you, this lens performs! very sharp, back blur is good, I would say even in low light conditions it did good job. I am very pleased. One thing though, IS would be nice, but the price probably will be x2...oh well.

Comments about Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

I highly recommend this lens. I have been using it as my walk around lens. The APS-C makes it like having a 96mm. It is so cool being able to put the lens hood within 2 inches of a subject. Get it!

I currently am using this lens to photograph items to sell on the internet. It is truely genius.
The built in flash on my Canon Rebel XS is all the lighting I need. I was pleased that it had the very easy to read distance scale built right into the lense,very helpfull. I will be doing alot of outdoor photography next summer with this lense. i'm very excited about it.

Comments about Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

The lens is ok to what is supposed to do twith that, but the f/2.8 is not enought sometimes. Unfortunatelly i didn't have momey to buy a better one.

I wanted this lens for such a long time and I finally pulled a trigger on this one. Very quite and the image quality is outstanding. Compact and is also good for portrait as well. Highly recommended!!

Comments about Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

This lens is just great at taking close-ups and portraits. Bokeh (background blur) is great. Does not have image stabilization, but doing close-ups one should use a tripod anyway. Construction is ok.. considering the price but I'm satisfied with the results from the lens. Some hunting when autofocusing. Would buy again.

Comments about Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

Couldn't wait to get it. Got it, then used it the minute the postman dropped it off. I love to take photos of miniatures. Surprised by the weight of the lens, but love it none-the-less.

Comments about Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens:

I've been using this lens for a few weeks now and am impressed. This lens is very sharp and is reasonably fast. Image quality is great. Chromatic aberration is almost nonexistent with this lens even in very high contrast scenes (snowy mountain in direct sunlight contrasted by shade from large trees).
Autofocus is fast and accurate in most conditions with the exception of low light scenes - which I expected.
One thing I don't like is that the build quality feels inferior to my other primes (EF 85mm f/1.8 USM & EF 28mm f/1.8 USM).
However, it is a very compact, lightweight lens which makes it easy to carry.

I bought this lens because I wanted a lens for some occasional macro photos on some nature hikes. I was also considering the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM (as well as the L version).
This macro lens is perfect for me because I am not so interested in macro that I could justify getting the more expensive, bulkier lenses. I need to save the space in my camera bag for my other lenses that get used more.

If macro photography is your primary interest and can afford it, you are better off with the 100mm or 100mm L or the 180mm L Canon makes - all of which will allow more working distance and more diffused background blur.

If you only need macro sometimes and like to pack as little weight as possible, this lens is a great choice.

Works great for closeup shots and as a portrait lens.
