Canon Lense RF-35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM

Very sharp. Autofocus works great for my commercials when I'm short crewed or gimbaled. Light weight and the macro is amazing. IS makes gimbal unnecessary in some circumstances. Great value. Every RF owner should have this little jewel.

I bought this a month ago. It's amazing for the price, I promise you won't regret. The macro feature was a big selling point for me.

Great lens for all around. Has IS, not available in 28 and 50 mm. Good compliment to my 100-400 mm. Delivery from this seller was ahead of schedule.

Came as described. Product is new and quickly shipped. Customer service worked with me.

Great lens for the price. I am using as my go to lens over a 50mm lens. Gives a little more viewing options. Images turn out great. Camera R5.

1.5 years ago I wrote a review on this site that I tested two copies of this lens at wide open aperture shooting a tall brick building across the street and found a peculiar result that the center is blur but four corners are sharp. Eventually I bought the EF 35mm f2 IS USM for my R camera, but it becomes 'big' and 'heavy' with the EF-to-R adaptor. Recently I retested a brand new RF 35mm f1.8 lens with the same conditions, and I found that the problem is gone! I do not know if it is due to hardware or firmware improvements. It is impressively sharp from center to edges; extreme corners are very acceptable. It is a solid A- performer. Now I am very happy to own this RF lens; it is small, light weight for travel and sharp.

Paired with the RP camera, this lens makes for a very small and light kit you can take anywhere. As a matter of fact, this lens on the RP just feels perfect in hand. My experience with the lens is that it's very quick to focus and very accurate in locking onto subjects. The macro is very, very handy, especially when combined with focus stacking. Image stabilization combined with 1.8 aperture makes this a fantastic low-light lens. I've used this as a walk-around lens as well for weddings, and it's been wonderful for its ease of use and results.

I purchased this lens as a smaller and lighter alternative to my RF 24-70 f/2.8 L and 24-105 f/4 L for street photography. The lens produces sharp and colorful photos but I wouldn't use it for videos. The macro capabilities come in handy when walking around and want to photograph smaller, detailed subjects to expand my range of possibilities. This is something my two zoom lenses cannot do. For the price, size, weight, and capabilities, this little lens does a lot.

I didn't like how loud it was on my canon rp. I also felt like it was always searching so I returned it. Otherwise, it did take good photos.

I wanted to love this lens based on the reviews but found it had a really hard time focusing on my subject in low light, whereas my 24-70 f2.8 @ 35mm caught the focus on the same subject matter immediately. I don't know if it was a defect out of the box or just a problem with this particular lens but moving forward it looks like Ill have to break the bank and stick with the L-series.
