Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens

Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens
True 1:1 Life-Size Macro Prime Lens for Canon EF-S Mount – 96mm Equivalent Focal Length, Fast f/2.8 Maximum Aperture, Ultrasonic Motor (USM) AF with Internal Focusing, Super Spectra Coating, Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm, Includes Front & Rear Lens Caps (Well Used Condition / Minor Internal Dust)

The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM is a dedicated high-magnification telephoto macro prime lens engineered specifically for APS-C-format Canon EF-S mount digital SLR cameras, delivering an optimal 96mm full-frame equivalent focal length. As a true 1:1 life-size macro optic with a minimum focusing distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm), this lens allows photographers to capture intricate details of insects, flora, jewelry, product textures, and fine art with edge-to-edge sharpness and clarity. Its flattering telephoto perspective and bright f/2.8 maximum aperture also make it an outstanding dual-purpose prime for portraiture, street photography, and close-up documentary work.

The optical formula utilizes 12 elements in 8 groups, engineered to deliver high resolving power, high contrast, and flat-field performance across the entire focusing range from infinity down to 1:1 reproduction. Individual glass elements feature Canon’s Super Spectra Coating to effectively suppress lens flare, internal reflections, and ghosting in harsh lighting conditions. Autofocus is powered by a high-torque ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) paired with an internal focusing (IF) architecture, providing fast, whisper-quiet, and precise autofocus tracking along with seamless full-time manual focus override. Because the lens focuses internally, its physical length remains completely fixed during operation, preventing accidental contact with delicate close-up subjects or lighting setups, while a rounded 7-blade circular diaphragm renders smooth, creamy background defocus.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: DEDICATED MACRO PRIME LENS UNIT. Supplied with the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens, front lens cap, and rear EF-S bayonet dust cap.

Exterior & Physical Status: WELL USED CONDITION. The composite barrel, ribbed manual focus ring, distance scale window, AF/MF switch, and metal EF-S bayonet mount exhibit visible cosmetic surface marks, scuffs, edge rubbing, and handling wear consistent with regular field use.

Optical & Mechanical Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL WITH OPTICAL DUST. The internal optical assembly contains standard dust particles typical of pre-owned macro optics (tested and confirmed not to degrade image resolution, contrast, or everyday exposure). The ring-type USM autofocus motor operates quickly and quietly; the internal focusing mechanism glides smoothly without extending the barrel; the electronic aperture stops down accurately across all f-stops on compatible Canon EOS APS-C camera bodies.

KEY FEATURES & PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

True 1:1 Life-Size Reproduction: Captures subjects at 100% life-size magnification on the sensor with a close minimum focusing distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm).

Versatile 96mm Equivalent Perspective: Ideal telephoto focal length for both macro detail work and flattering portraiture with clean background separation.

Fast f/2.8 Maximum Aperture: Enhances low-light shooting capabilities and offers shallow depth-of-field control for creative selective focus.

Ring-Type USM with Internal Focusing (IF): Delivers rapid, silent autofocus with full-time manual focus override; internal focus design ensures the barrel never extends.

Super Spectra Multi-Coating: Eliminates ghosting and flare while preserving color neutrality and high contrast in direct sunlight.

Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm: Softens out-of-focus background elements for natural, pleasing bokeh and circular specular highlights.

Non-Rotating 52mm Front Filter Thread: Fixed front barrel facilitates the use of circular polarizing filters and macro ring flashes.

Native Canon EF-S Mount Compatibility: Seamlessly mounts to all Canon EOS APS-C digital SLR bodies (Rebel series, 60D, 70D, 80D, 90D, 7D series).
