Bring small things into full-sized view with the Len 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.* Focal length: 60mm

Product Description
Canon must believe that the Len Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens is very durable as they include only a piece of double-thick corrugated cardboard and a bubble wrap bag for padding in the box. And it does appear to be reasonably well built. The focus ring is relatively wide and smooth functioning. The lens is relatively small and quite light - it feels very nicely balanced on the Canon 350D/Digital Rebel XT. The design looks and feels modern.
