second best purchase ever!

I'm 83 & not able to hunt with a rifle anymore, therefore I hunt insects & flowers close to home. This little lens on my Canon T3i meets ALL my needs, & takes a great portrait picture too! If your in the market for a true macro lens give this 1 a try. I guarantee you won't regret it.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Nice!

This is the best lens canon offers, FOR the money. Works very nice on ANY close up situation. Close up portraits are a breeze and the depth of field is easy to control. This lense is perfect for a 1.6 crop camera. You would have to spend 4 times the amount to match the portrait capabilities of this lens. I use this lense many times for special wedding photos. The blur is as nice as my 70-200 2.8 IS and can be used in tight quarters. Little slow on the focus but does it really matter for still shots? It is not a L lense quality, but seems fine. For the money it is a must have. If money is no object then opt for the 85mm f/1.2.
Pros: Super-sharp images
Cons: Slow auto-focus

Nice macro lens

I use this lens on Canon XSi. I had to decide between this lens and 100mm macro. Decided to go with this lens based on reviews (recommended this for cropped body cameras). I did not have any macro shooting experience when I got and was a little disappointed when first used it. The reason for my disappointment was slow autofocus. Now when I have some experience I love it. Here are the reasons I find it an excellent lens:
1) When you get used to it autofocus is not a problem.
It works very well even when you shoot 1x1.
2) It is very very sharp.
3) Solid build.
4) Not heavy.
5) Nice bokeh.
6) Not cheap but not overpriced.

After using it for a while I fall in love with macro photography.

My favorite lens I own
on July 30, 2010

I was amazed at how beautiful the macro shots with this lens could be. I love the 2.8 aperature. I can really create some dramatic images with blurring the background of certain shots. The images are extremely crisp. This is an ideal lens for portraits with the 60mm fixed focal length. I was blown away to see the detail in bee's wings when I got a shot of one gathering pollen from a flower. This lens is a must have.
Pros: super sharp images, outstanding detail
Cons: ef-s lens

I needed a macro lens for nature photography and had to make a choice on size lens and of course price and had to have professional outcome. The Canon EF-S 60mm f2/.8 Macro I purchased has far surpassed any of my expectations. Thank you Canon
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images, consistant, ease of use

Love this Lens.

I'm so glad I got this lens. Its great for portraits and of course macro photography is wonderful with this lens. The back ground blur is so pretty with this lens. It hasn't left my camera since I purchased it 2 weeks ago. no IS, but i dont find it's an issue with handheld photo's. however you will need to stablize the lens when doing actual macro photography
