Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens Review at Cameratown.com

I have to admit, when the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens was announced, I was less than enthusiastic over a new short focal length macro lens compatible only with the EF-S lens mount Digital SLRs. But now that I've had a chance to use it, I think the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens is a very nice lens.

"This new EF-S mount Macro lens from Canon is designed to be used with the APS-C sized sensors of the 300D, 350D and 20D cameras only. With a crop factor of 1.6x it gives an equivalent length in 35mm terms of 96mm, very close to the 100mm of their most popular fixed focal length lens, the 100mm f/2.8 Macro. We take a look at its qualities and the thinking behind it.

I wait to be convinced about Canon's commitment to the EF-S mount and the restricted number of cameras that it will fit. However, if you own one of them and do not plan to upgrade to full frame in the future then this is a capable and versatile lens."
