Designed for APS-C Sized Cameras

True To Life Macro Capture
This lens offers 1:1 "True" Macro ability for life-size macro capture. Or in other words, the object you're shooting a close-up of - such as an insect or delicate plant life - is the same size as the image on the digital sensor, aka true-to-life capture.

Create Dramatic Effects
With a fast f/2.0 maximum aperture, this macro can help deliver dramatic blurred background effects.

Long Working Distance
The working distance of the lens is 100mm which should help the photographer stand a comfortable distance away from the subject to prevent, for example, scaring away a shy bug he or she is photographing. The long working distance of this 60mm Macro is also designed to prevent capturing the shadow of the lens barrel.
