Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. The Canon EF-S60mm f/2.8 MACRO USM lens is a macro lens that can be used for normal photography and close-up pictures up to 1:1, or life-size magnification. It has been developed for use with digital SLR cameras* compatible with EF-S lenses.

a Safety Precautions • Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the lens or camera. Doing so could result in loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly through the lens is especially hazardous. • Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do not leave the lens under the sun without the lens cap attached. This is to prevent the lens from concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a fire.
