Lens Description

The Canon EF-S 60mm F/2.8 Macro USM is a short telephoto prime designed for cameras with a APS-C (1.6X) sensor. This bright prime has a 60mm focal-length. It provides the same field of view as a 96mm lens on a Full-Frame camera.

This prime can focus down to 20cm from the imaging plane which gives it a maximum magnification of 1X. The lens offers a Quick-Shift AF system which lets the user simply rotate the focus-ring to focus manually. A Super-Sonic motor inside the lens delivers very fast and relatively quiet AF.

This lens is only available for Canon EF. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Canon EF mount cameras with APS-C (1.6X) sensors.
