Features for Canon EF-S 60mm f2.8 Macro USM
Up close
With its ability to focus life-size images onto the image sensor,
the EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM offers true macro performance in the
EF-S lens series. Having an effective focal length of approximately
96mm in 35mm format, it produces breathtaking close-up results. A
minimum focusing distance of just 20cm gets you super close to your
subject, filling the frame with the subject in the highest detail
you require.
A world in miniature
The EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM works in harmony with EF-S mount EOS
cameras to let you explore an exciting new photographic dimension.
Nature photographers will delight in the ability to capture the
intricate beauty of tiny features. With capacity to reproduce an
image on the sensor as large as the subject itself, you will take
your audience on a journey inside a magnificent miniature world.
Background blur
Portrait photographers will enjoy working with the large aperture,
which narrows depth of field and creates beautiful background blur,
making your subject stand out with dramatic effect.
Travelling light
The EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM adds enormous versatility to your kit
while adding little weight. Its near-silent Ultra Sonic Motor
provides super-fast precision auto-focusing with full-time manual
override.
Resolution and quality
Over 60 years of optical engineering has gone into producing a lens
that delivers exacting picture quality standards. Canon lens
technologies combine to produce high corner-to-corner resolution,
brightness, contrast and balanced colour reproduction throughout all
focusing distances.
Built for digital
Designed specifically for digital photography, the lens has
specially shaped lens elements with Super Spectra coatings to
suppress ghosting and flare, which can be caused by reflections off
the camera sensor. An exclusive optional lens hood further reduces
the risk of flare.
