  • Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Image quality, sharpness, bokeh, lightweight/compact, life size macro capability
    AF hunt in low light, only work in 1.6x sensor camera, smaller working size compare to Canon 100mm/f2.8

    The image quality especially the sharpness is speak for themselves. If you do a lot of macro Canon 100mm/f2.8 is the main choice which is heavier and more expensive. However since I travel a lot and need lightweight lens, my Canon 60mm/f2.8 is very comfortable sitting even in my pocket. I'm happy with this lens performance apart from AF hunt in low light.

    These are the samples of my images collection taken by this amazing lens hopefully may help you making decision.

    It's heavy lens indeed, but I don't mind as the image quality is superb. You won't regret it.

    The best seller of red stripe lens for my architectural and landscape. I can say many things about this lens, but let's pictures speak for themselves.

    Look the color saturation as you will be happy to own such wonderful lens :
