Don't get me wrong. I'm very happy with my latest camera, a Canon R6 Mark II. But I'm still hanging on to my 77D, an APS-C Canon from 2017. But in the process of moving to the mirrorless world, I had sold off some of my older lenses, one of which was the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM. I now regret parting with that lens. I miss having a macro lens on the 77D and I can foresee times when I would use that camera to supplement my macro photography.
Alas, the EF-S 60mm is no long in production. Canon stopped producing it and decided to emphasize their newer R-series lenses for mirrorless cameras. The lenses are still available on the used market, however. Prices are said to range between $275 and $410. I searched eBay and found that most lenes were close to $300 and well beyond.
I broke down and bought a lens from ProPhoto Supply for $250, including shipping. It's on its way now.
