Pros: sharpness, compactness, AF

Cons: nothing relevant, just not usable on FF in the future

Opinion: As a non-professional amateur I am really satisfied. I use it occasionally in diving (diving suit of course), and I hope sooner or later to find the square with diving suit and flash in the same output as when it happens right stuff for macro. On clay I use it purely for family portraits, and being attentive to the definition / sharpness to enjoy the detail (the iris, the eyelashes, the contour of the lips, the fingers of the little ones etc) it gives me satisfaction, with a pleasant and regular blur. Precise, reliable AF, maybe not a missile. Used is along the lines of 200 euros (180-220) and is worth them, for a promiscuous use from family portraits without obligation to medium close-ups. However, if you want to make pure portraits (perhaps for services) it is better to do something with f 2 or f 1.4, if you want to do real macro thrusts it is better to have a longer focal length or lens dedicated to the purpose (to go well beyond 1:1 without really getting too close), perhaps tropicalized. it's not IS but that's okay in my opinion: for static portraits you can avoid blur, for macro shots you use the tripod so you don't miss it and indeed less is more (discontinued lens, therefore old, so more likely that it can break, the less stuff there is that can be broken the better, especially if not necessary for the purpose).

Pros: Small, compact, lightweight, sharp, true macro

Cons: Not being able to use it on full frame, no stabilization

Opinion: Taken a bit for fun is a very valid goal. The operating distance is not much. Too bad it is not stabilized. Unfortunately I had to resell it when I switched to full frame. Being macro I don't recommend it for portraits of women. If I had had it in modern times with a mirrorless full frame and stabilized I probably would have kept it for some undemanding freehand shots

Pros: Sharp,excellent yield,usm,internal focusing,weight,macro ratio 1.1 light and compact.

Cons: Practically no one, sorry not to be able to exploit it on ff

Opinion: It's a fantastic lens.Compact, sturdy and light at the same time. It has a circular diaphragm,so a pleasant blur. Returns saturated colors and excellent definition. It is one, in my opinion, among the best macro targets in circulation. With its special design of MAF as well as not "stretching", it allows the possibility to use the ring flash, for easy use. Excellent contrast maintenance even on out-of-focus areas.

Pros: Very crisp. Excellent value for money.

Cons: L 'autofocus is not really fast. Only 60mm often not enough.

Opinion: This is my first review on Juza. It was my first goal. I use it for about a year and love it. At first glance it seems very much to the 60mm limit the possibilities. With ninja pass and calmly you can make it work well even with insects. For macro studio it is fabulous. . there are no words to describe the satisfaction he can give. If you have time you visit my macro galleries. Recommended for everyone! 10+

Pros: Sharpness, minimum distance of focus, usm, weight, ruggedness

Cons: EF-S attack, too close to portray animals.

Opinion: First macro lens. Proved once exceptional, excellent sharpness, a very good quality of detail accentuated by the fact that you can go almost stuck to the subject because of the reduced distance so focus. 60mm they are unfortunately too few to photograph animals, especially insects, because being forced to get close to fill the frame, flee terrified. I am, however, managed to bring home images of animals probably "dormant" and less responsive really exceptional. rnData the cheaply in used the advice to all those chr possess APSC. Too bad if tomorrow you switched to a fullframe, bisognerbbe diafarsene (and instead would be a great lens).
