Comments about Tamron Tamron SP 60mm f/2 Di II 1:1 AF Macro Auto Focus Lens for Canon EOS - with 6 Year USA Warranty:
This is a very sharp lens--particularly when stopped down at f8 to f13 (see my Coffee Bean shot below). At f2.0 it's also very sharp and drops off quickly when focused closed up (see my Peanut shot below). My main use is for flower and insect pictures. This is a fun lens and worth your consideration.

bought this for my crop camera. Love the color and contrast. It is a sweet lens. Like it more than my nifty fifty for sure.

This lens is great for macro. No problems experienced yet. I've had it about one month.

Used this lens on my new Canon EOS Rebel T2i to photograph wildflowers in Death Valley. Got great, clear photos of even the tiniest flowers. The wind was blowing part of the time and still got extremely good photos by shooting at a high speed and bracketing. Good distance shots of groups of flowers. So far so good. Durablity unknown, but seems as well built as other Tamron lenses I have used.

Comments about Tamron Tamron SP 60mm f/2 Di II 1:1 AF Macro Auto Focus Lens for Canon EOS - with 6 Year USA Warranty:
I agree with everything Joe G says. I have not removed the lens since I bought it in Dec. Very impressive glass. Play with it everyday. This is my first macro. All my other glass has been Canon EF-S.
Seems to hunt for focus sometimes, but never fails to focus spot on.

Comments about Tamron Tamron SP 60mm f/2 Di II 1:1 AF Macro Auto Focus Lens for Canon EOS - with 6 Year USA Warranty:
I have not stopped playing with this lens since I bought it. So far, I have nothing but positive comments about the Tamron 60mm. The aperture range of f/2.0 to f/22 provides amazing control over depth of field. The f/2.0 aperture works well in low light conditions, and is also useful for portraits, allowing for nice separation between the subject and the background. The lens has a working distance of 100mm from the front element of the lens to the subject. This long working distance allows you to take macro shots while maintaining a significant distance from the subject, and prevents the lens barrel from casting a shadow over the subject. The 60mm has a full-time manual control mechanism which enables the user to manually adjust the focus without leaving the auto-focus mode. Finally, the 60mm is light-weight, compact and attractive with a matte finish.

This is a good lens for intra-oral photography or other close-up work with an APS sized sensor.
