I got this lens for shooting humming birds outside my window. It works fine with my Rebel T5i. The depth of field is very narrow so the birds beak is out of focus when the eye is in focus if shot from the front or at much of an offset angle. I have gone to some effort to get the bird to always feed from one position which helps get most of the body in focus. There is quite a challenge to get the whole bird in focus at 1/1000 s shutter as auto usually selects F2.8. I've gone to high ISO (1600-3200) and RAW format so I can use a smaller aperture. The lens will adjust focus quickly but I must pre-focus to avoid the long time required if the lens goes hunting. Though I selected durable and good value, the 'yes' option was closer to the real answer than 'no', based upon very limited experience with the lens. I got the lens 100 off typical new price so I chose "good value".Read full review

After much research and debate on what prime Macro would suit my shooting needs, I hit the Buy It Now button. Yes, I am so gald that I did! Love this lens, super sharp, auto focus is fast, colors are beautiful and it's solid. I shoot food, and this gets those nice tight shots along with major details when I'm working on a story layout. Not to mention, a great portrait lens as well. Paired this with my 80d, and Canon 24mm wide, also a macro lens truley perfect for low light and tight work spaces. Could not be happier with this purchase.

I have yet to use this particular lens, but I have had one before, and it is a sharp, contrasty, and light lens. Besides being a good macro lens, it is excellent for head and shoulder portraits when using APS-C type DSLRs. It is a bargain, considering what Canon's "L" comparable lenses cost.

If found the 60mm f2.8 EF-S USM Lens is an excellent lens for Macro Photography and good prime lens for portrait photography. I feel that this lens was better than the equivalent 100mm f2.8 when using a C frame camera such as my 7D. The 100mm lens seems to be the optimal size for the full frame cameras. Since the C frame is 1.6 x 60mm it is effectively 96mm. I am very satisfied with the lens, it produces exceptionally sharp pictures with little effort and I would consider the sharpness better than any of my Zoom Lenses which are all L lenses. The downside is that I reciently purchased a second camara which is a full frame 5D Mark II body and the 60mm can not be used on that camara.
Incredible lens does a wonderful job. Excellent value sharp crisp clear image. Would highly recommend it. Thank you.
