Summary: Great For Dental Photography
Comment: I have a Canon Rebel XT camera and a Canon MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite, and this has really helped improve the quality of my close up photography. This is definitely worth the money. It has worked great since I started using it a month ago.
Summary: Canon 60mm Macro lens
Comment: Crisp, fast and versitile. I have found this lens to be remarkable. Close-ups of flowers and insects are easy and the auto focus seems fast enough for me, although it can get confused if there are too many possible focusing points in an image while shooting macro. I do not find this any worse than my other lenses though, that is what manual is for. Great landscape and portrait shots also.I use it most of the time. Buy it, you won't be sorry.
Summary: Great Macro lens for the price
Comment: This lens really is amazing, great colors, great detail. It took a long time to decide between this one and the EF 100mm Macro so for the extra $100 savings, I went this route. I mostly photograph flowers so the shorter range doesn't bother me too much, but looking back, I should have gone the 100mm route. I'm very happy with the construction, IQ, etc, but the extra reach would have been nice. Live and learn. I will say (as I always do with Canon lenses) that a lens hood would have been nice for the price (which is why only 4 stars). I bought a collapsable rubber one and it makes a great difference.
Summary: Outstanding Macro Lens
Comment: This lens does not disappoint for Macro shots or Portraits. The quality is outstanding and is worth every penny.
Summary: great lens
Comment: I received this lens for my birthday and took some flower pictures before I went and then a bunch of pictures while on vacation. this is a great lens for multipurpose walking around. It is lighter than my telephoto zoom, takes sharp pictures with amazing detail. I would recommend it for a second lens to anyone who already has a zoom. I am looking forward to setting up to photograph my mother-in-law's artwork with it as well.
