The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens is the cheapest true macro lens (1:1) in the Canon lens range (equivalent focal range of approx. 96mm when used on a Canon APS-C format DSLR camera). It is designed to work on all Canon EOS DSLR bodies with a "APS-C" crop sensor. Macro photographers are given 20cm minimal focus distance, the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens will double as a portrait lens if desired. The fixed f/2.8 lens is lightweight and is a great option for current photographers wanting to venture into the world of macro photography.
Note: Canon EF-S lenses are designed specifically for use with Canon crop sensor "APS-C" digital SLR cameras. Canon full frame cameras are not compatible.
