I'll get you for this, Middleton! -- http://www.pbase.com/bcbaird/ Heheheheh... Hmmm, 96mm f2.8 equiv. Not that fast, compared to the film type 100 f2...but better than what's been offered up 'til now for 1.6 crop digital. Of course, my 50mm f1.8 is faster, and only slightly shorter. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |

The text says it's an EF-S Canon 60mm f:2.8 Macro? So f:2.8 is about right. |

Specs he http://www.eos-magazine.com/EOS%20sy.../EFS_60mm.html I've learned to be a bit cynical when a lens comes out marked "macro," too many zooms make the claim without really being macro lenses. But this one backs it up, apparently. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |

But it is a true macro, and, you're right, max aperture is rather moot, after a point. But if you decided to use it for a portrait lens, then max aperture may become an issue... -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |
