Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR Cameras

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.

Excellent lens that takes great close shots, Perfect for anyone looking for a standard macro lens at a great price
Customer Review: Would recommend the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens
I am very pleased with the lens. Our granddaughters cheer and in the past, it has been nearly impossible to get clear shots of them at a distance (and because of the lighting in the gym). With this lens, the shots came out great. Looking for detail and clarity, then this is the lens to buy.
