Our editorial take on the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Autofocus APS-C Lens, Black
The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM is a dedicated macro lens for Canon APS-C bodies, delivering a 96mm equivalent field of view and true 1:1 life-size magnification. Its floating optical system and internal focusing design keep the lens length constant throughout the focus range, a practical benefit for macro work where working distance matters. The ring-type ultrasonic motor provides fast, silent autofocus, and the lens doubles as a short telephoto for portraits or general shooting.
At $348 MSRP, it sits in the mid-range of Canon's macro lineup, positioned as a versatile option for crop-sensor users who want macro capability without the bulk or cost of full-frame alternatives. The 60mm focal length offers a comfortable working distance for insects and small subjects while remaining compact enough for everyday use. It's a solid choice for Canon APS-C shooters who need a dedicated macro lens and appreciate the bonus utility of a flattering portrait focal length.

About this product
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.
