Is the canon ef s 60mm f 2 8 macro usm good for product photography?

I don't have a product photography guide yet, so I can't give you a verdict for that subject. What I can tell you is how this lens behaves. It's a macro for APS-C Canon bodies only, and it frames like about 96mm on full frame, so you get a comfortable working distance from small objects. At f/2.8 the depth of field is about what f/4.5 gives, so check that enough of the product is sharp.

It isn't stabilised, so a tripod will help when the product is sitting still. It fits a long list of Canon APS-C bodies, from the EOS 1200D to the 850D.

For a sense of how I weigh lenses for different subjects, see the Portraits page. The full specs and compatible cameras are on the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM page.
