Optimized for select Canon EOS digital SLRs, the Canon 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM has an angle of view is equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera, with a floating optical system that can focus down to full life-size (1:1) magnification. Inner focusing is driven by a silent and powerful ring-type USM, so the lens' overall length never changes during focus.
