The EF-S 60 mm F2.8 Macro is designed specifically for Canon's APS-C DSLRs, providing an equivalent focal length of approximately 96mm and a true 1:1 macro magnification ratio. Optical construction comprises 12 elements in eight groups, with a 7-bladed aperture diaphragm. This lens also features a ring-type Ultra Sonic Motor with full-time manual focus and has a maximum aperture of F2.8. An inner focusing design means the lens' overall length does not change during focus.
