COMMENTS:

Currently the only prime lens in an EF-S mount. At 60mm, the EF-S 60/2.8 Macro USM on an APS-C DSLR is approximately the equivalent of a 100mm macro on a full frame camera. It's a very sharp lens that goes to 1:1 magnification. There's really nothing bad to say about it, and it can double as a pretty good portrait lens too.
