Bring small things into full-sized view with the Canon EF 60mm macro USM lens. Macro lenses can uncover detail that would be impossible to detect by the eye and give new perspective to extremely minute subjects such as insects or the petals of a small flower, and this lens is no exception. The 60mm lens offers an angle of view that's equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera, along with a floating optical system that can focus down to life-size 1:1 magnification. The inner focusing system, meanwhile, is driven by a silent and powerful ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM), meaning the lens's overall length never changes during focus. Ultimately, the multi-purpose lens is equally at home shooting macro shots, portraits, or available-light photos. Like all Canon EF-S lenses, this lens is restricted to the EOS 20D, EOS Digital Rebel, and EOS Digital Rebel XT cameras.

Customer Review: great lens
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.
Customer Review: BRILLIANT
I am an amateur camera guy - so you won't get any technical words from me. Excellent lens - sharp image - light (awhg 100mm). Should be part of everyone's kit particularly if you enjoy both portrait and macro work.
There are many benefits to going digital. However, it can be hard to learn how to use a digital camera. Hopefully this article will guide you to know how to use it right.
Digital photography is great. One of the greatest benefits is that you can many photos and delete without much problem. You don't have to worry about using film and having to buy more.
Now, if you have a camera that's digital and automatic then you are going to have some trouble using it manually. However, you can still take great shots with it following some simple compositional tips and techniques.
If you have a more manual camera then you'll be able to manipulate many settings. Two settings you really want to get to know are the shutter and aperture.
The shutter basically is a little slot that opens when you take the picture. When it opens it lets light in. The amount of time that the shutter is opened is the shutter setting you use. A shutter of 1/30 is open for a thirtieth of a second. A longer amount of time being opens means that the photo is going to be brighter.
The aperture is the iris of the camera. It is the hole that lets light in. Bigger iris settings mean that you are going to let more light in. A larger aperture of f/2.8 will let lots of light in. This makes the photo have a more shallow depth of field. A smaller setting like F/16 will let much less light in and mean you will probably need a larger aperture if in a darker setting. Smaller apertures mean you'll get a more expansive depth of field.
