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).

Pros: Exciting sharpness even at TA, lightweight, compact, inexpensive, 1: 1 magnification, great not only for macro

Cons: You can not use it on the 6D ...

Opinion: I always liked to photograph "invisible" details, but shooting with the canvas was just a replay so I bought this lens, suitable for the APS-C format of my reflex, which with its 60mm is almost 100 on the full frame. It's lightweight and compact, so it does not have bullet problems or even handshaking. The construction looks solid and the graft is firm and stable. The focal length makes it suitable also for generic and portraiture photography, where sharpness is always extraordinary. It's an optic that I expected was very clear even at the maximum aperture (and probably was designed for that), too the smaller details are always clear. I have never tried a sharper lens than this on APS-C, with this sensor I think is even superior to 24/70 L and 70/200 L.rnThe color rendering is faithful, never too poor and never too saturated, the contrasts enhance the subject especially in close-up photos with backgrounds particulously blurred. The brightness is always excellent even at the edges of the frame, I have not noticed chromatic abrasions, the flare is only obtained andand look for it. RnrnThe AF engine is silent and fast, using it automatically is accurate even with little light. The focus is "internal" so there is no rotation or extension of the front lens. For this reason, both filters and flash dedicated to macro photography can be mounted simultaneously. If you are using Auto Focus, it is still possible to correct it by rotating the ring (well dimensioned, precise, and sensitive) to achieve the desired shutter speed. The manual MF also works with the camera off. There is no stabilizer but it is not a problem, for macros the tripod is used, while for the freehand photos just open the diaphragm. RnrnQuest'ottica is on the market since 2005 and is still in production: if after all these years the reviews are all positive means it is theProve that this is a really good product.

Pros: Cost, clarity, weight, dimensions

Cons: Perhaps 60mm is a bit 'little insect etc ... but I knew what I was buying, I was not surprised

Opinion: The first objective that I bought, and simply love it .. Both portraits for both macro flower, and I also tried to make paesaggi.rnLa construction is impeccable and the focus is very smooth, quiet and incredibly precise .. Excellent value prezzo.rnUna lens that I never tire of usare.rnNon stands out a lot with my 1100D but testing it on other bodies gave impressive results; the resolution is greater than the human eye .... and it shows.
