Overview
A thoroughly modern design that's optimized for select Canon EOS digital SLRs. Its angle of view is equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera, with a floating optical system that can focus down to full life-size (1:1) magnification. Inner focusing, driven by a silent and powerful ring-type USM, means the lens' overall length never changes during focus. This lens is a wonderful multi-purpose lens that's equally at home shooting macro shots, portraits or available-light photos. Like all Canon EF-S Lenses, its use is restricted to the EOS 20D, EOS Digital Rebel and EOS Digital Rebel XT cameras (as of February 2005).
Features:
- The three-group floating system results in excellent delineation at all focusing distances from life-size to infinity
- A canon macro flash makes it easy to take close-up pictures with a flash. The inner focusing mechanism enables AF photography while the macro flash is attached.
- Ultrasonic motor (USM) for quick and quiet autofocusing
- Manual focusing is availabel after the subject comes into focus in autofocus mode (ONE SHOT AF)
What's in the Box?
- Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens
- E-52U 52mm Snap-On Lens Cap
- Lens Dust Cap E (Rear)
Modulation Transfer Function or "MTF" is a measurement of the optical performance potential of a lens.
