The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM is an EF-S mount prime lens that combines a comfortable short telephoto focal length with optimized close-up capabilities, designed for APS-C format DSLRs. As a true macro lens, it offers a life-size maximum magnification of 1:1 at a minimum focusing distance of 7.9 inches, and its 96mm equivalent focal length makes it ideal for portraits as well. The optical design provides a high level of sharpness and resolution across the entire frame, and individual elements are coated with Super Spectra coating to minimize flare and ghosting, ensuring greater contrast and color accuracy in strong lighting conditions.
