Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM

Canon EF-S, APS-C / DX

Product details

Canon's EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM is an EF-S-Mount Prime that combines a comfortable short telephoto focal length with optimised close-ups and is designed for DSLRs in APS-C format. As a true macro lens, this lens offers a life-size maximum magnification of 1:1 at a minimum focusing distance of 7.9", 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 image and individual elements have been coated with Super Spectra to minimise stray light and ghosting to ensure greater contrast and colour accuracy when working in high light conditions. The lens also uses an ultrasonic motor together with an internal focusing design to provide fast, quiet and precise autofocus performance and full-time manual focusing.

Das Canon ist sicherlich ein durchaus solides Objektiv mit insgesamt guten Abbildungsleistungen sowie sehr guter Verarbeitung. Allerdings ist die Bildqualität bei genauerem Hinsehen nicht mehr ganz so überzeugend. Auch der Lieferumfang ist dürftig denn eine Gegenlichtblende fehlt hier, wobei allerdings das Fehlen eines Bildstabilisators schwerer wiegt.
