I was looking to purchase a more expensive macro lens to begin with but found this lens got really good reviews. I'm so happy with my purchase and with my photos. It also takes great portraits. If you are looking for a good priced macro lens, look no further....absolutely love this lens!

I got this lens because I am particularly interested in doing macro photography as a pastime, not a professional. It looked like the best lens for this purpose as it lacked only image stabilization which is minimally helpful at such close distances (according to other reviews).

Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus

Canon's EF-S 60mm f2.8 is a Macro lens designed for cropped-bodies; as an EF-S model it's not compatible with full-frame bodies. When mounted on a cropped-body it delivers an equivalent focal length of 96mm, which combined with a minimum focusing distance of 20cm allows you to enjoy serious...

I am very satisfied with this lens, It is everything I read about and more. The only drawback is it does not have the image stabilization feature. other than that it is a great Macro lens, and I would recommend purchasing it if you are looking for a good Macro lens.

The seller's product is top of the line, shipping very quick and packaging done very well. Highly recommend.

I bought this lens yesterday for my t5i and I was skeptical at first. I have never bought a macro lens before and I wasn't really sure what to expect. After playing around with it for a while and taking multiple test shots, I started to get a hang of it.

extremely fast on non closeup subjects; Fast auto-focus; Superior build quality; Super-sharp images

I'm putting together a digital SLR system for dental case photography, and this lens in combination with Canon's Rebel SL1 body and MR-14EX ring flash makes for a compact and light system capable of 1:1 macro imaging.

I used it to complete some documentation. It was very easy to work with, the results were excellent and it can also focus over a greater distance than I expected. I can't wait for an opportunity to use it outdoors.The best things were the ease of use and the fast focus.
