Canon 60mm f/2.8 EF-S Macro

A Macro lens designed for crop frame cameras, the 60mm provides a very sharp true Macro lens in a small package perfect for use with T3i or 7D cameras. It can be used with the MR-14EX Macro and MT-24 EX Macro flashes for closeup work. It can also be used as a very sharp walk-around or portrait lens.

Only Works With: Crop sensor cameras (T3i, 60D, 7D, etc…)

Roger’s take: I shoot full-frame most of the time, but there are some EF-S lenses that make me want to shoot crop sensor. This is one of them. It’s really small and light, as sharp as you could want, and focuses fast enough to be a nice walk-around prime lens. As far as I can tell, its only flaw is that I can’t mount it on my 5D. It is on my “lenses nobody ever talks abut that are really outstanding” list along with the 200 f/2.8 and 100 f/2.0 primes. Overall, it’s a superb Macro lens.
