Hello guys,

Today I bought a Canon 60mm Macro lens and I want to know the reviews from you guys. If there anyone with pictures taken with this lens... please, post them here...

I'm going to take a few shoots to see what happens...

Thanks

Great lens, just love how sharp it is, only had mine a week or so, still learning the close up stuff, some of my images:

How do I get a picture where I can focus everything around and not just one point...

Close down the aperture to f/8 or f/11 and see how you like that.

I really like mine. I've used it more often as a portrait lens than as a macro lens so far. That's not to say that I haven't loved its macro performance, but rather that I've just had more portrait opportunities. Very sharp, focuses well and quickly -- a great lens!

I think it is a really sharp lens and feels good on the camera due to the compact size. Raymate has some great shots, but I haven't been quite so successful so far with mine.
