Average Rating: out of 5 stars

- Great close-up lens
The image quality is close to what you would expect from an expensive "L" lens. Nice sharp details in macro shots, and nice looking blur in out of focus areas.

Can also be used for general photos, such as portraits.

- FAB! Buy one now!
This is a fantastic lens. I was originally looking at some other cheaper makes but so dam glad I parted with the extra money (which in truth was not that much more).
As the others write, the lens is Sharpe and very salient. A silly little thing which I really like is the fact you can have the autofocus setting on and still be able to manually help it a little without the usual horrible noise from the motor sounding like you're about to severely damage it. No idea if this is really allowed or not but seems not to damage it and allows me to get that required picture much faster.
In short, another happy owner of this lens. If you want to see some pics taken with it go to www.flickr.com/photos/marcoastesiano where you can see some ... Read More:

- Nearly Perfect!!
The EF-S 60mm macro lens is fantastic, I have been using it for 9 months now and am so glad I bought it. Pictures have a wonderful level of sharpness and detail and the bokeh (aesthetic quality of out of focus areas) is outstanding! My only critisicm is that after using it for a while I find myself wishing that I had spent more money and bought the EF 100mm Macro 2.8 as the workable range would have been much higher, allowing me to get closer whilst being further away. Also an EF lens is more future-proof as it can be used on cropped sensor (400d/20d etc.) AND full-frame cameras (5D etc.) Overall though the lens produces lovely pictures and gives you a different perspective to your photography!

- Macro heaven for not much moolah!
I've had this lens a few days now and had the opportunity to do a few sessions with it and am very, very pleased with the results.

The lens feels solid and well built, heavy enough without being too much.

This lens has an EF-S mount so has been designed specifically with the Canon range of digital cameras in mind such as 300D, 350D and the new 400D which I currently have this lens hooked up to. The lens is not suitable for Canon's 1D and 5D but I'm guessing if you afford one of those you'll likely own the 180mm macro 'L' lens ;)

Auto focus is good and fast in good light and the lens length does not change during focusing. There is provision on the front to attach a ring flash for real close macro work too. ... Read More:

- Sharp enough to make your eyes bleed
I bought this lens along with my eos 350D( it doesnt work with normal eos cameras as it is EF-S). The lens is very well made and as it is USM is silent and fast when focussing, which by the way is entirely internal( ie there is no change in length of the lens when focusing). The pictures are very, very sharp and the bokeh is brillant. Try it out and see- i can assure you that you wont be disappointed. It is also relatively small. As there is a 1.6 magnification in canon digital is actually works out to be 96 mm macro. This lens is really worth it- the only detractors are people who also use the normal eos full frame cameras. It is an excellent macro and potrait lens. This should have been a L lens.
