Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens - Brand New review

I enjoyed using the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro during my time with it. The light weight and strong image quality, combined with the affordable price, means that it deserves a place in a lot of photographers’ bags.
Pros:
  • Strong optical performance in almost every metric, from sharpness to flare, Surprisingly advanced handling features for an inexpensive lens, with extensive manual controls, Built-in image stabilization is unusual for a 35mm prime and works well, Impressive close-up capabilities make it a very...
Cons:
  • No weather sealing, Externally focusing design feels cheap and is less weatherproof, Vignetting is on the high side, Lens hood is not included (and if you do get one, it attaches to the moving portion of the barrel), Focusing is loud and hunts more often than most Canon RF lenses in low light,...

Great value for the money

I bought the Canon RF 35mm F1,8 alongside the new R6 a few months ago. The combination of a good IS, low F stop and macro capability, is helping me out in many situations, especially low light situations. The feel to the lens is a bit plastic-like, but I have no complaints on the mechanical quality.

Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens RF35ISSTMMACRO review

The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 STM IS macro was one of the first RF-mount lenses released back in 2018. You may argue that it is not among the most exciting lenses out there but it has a rare quality in today's mirrorless world - it is affordable at around 500USD/550EUR and we have even seen special sales...

Noisy but necessary

Pros: ? This is the lightest and most compact RF lens and a great choice for street and family photos. Great pairing for EOS RP. But not a "pancake" PROS: ? This is the lightest and most compact RF lens and a great choice for street and family photos. Great pairing for EOS RP. But not a "pancake".

Great RF Lens

This is one of my favorite RF lenses. Compact, light-weight, sharp, fast, semi-macro and inexpensive. Other RF lenses are great, but all are bulkier and much heavier. There are pretty much no downsides to this little gem. A great all purpose, compact addition to my kit.

I'm in love

I love this lens. It is compact, very light, very sharp, nice bokeh and fast focusing. It's not weather sealed but I rarely use my camera in the rain so that doesn't bother me. It may not be L build quality but it is as sharp as an L lens.
Pros:
  • Durable
  • Fast Focus
  • Great Features
  • Great Picture Quality
  • Lightweight
  • Nice bokeh

Canon RF 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro Lens Review

When introducing their EOS R and the RF lens mount, Canon of course introduced compatible lenses and the RF 35mm f/1.8mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro Lens was one of them. Most of the newly-introduced RF lenses were very high end L-series models with moderate to very high price tags and some were rather large...

This will no doubt be an obvious walk-around lens for many EOS R-series users, at least for the time being while the RF lens range is still growing. With a classically popular focal length, a respectably wide maximum aperture, image stabilization and close-focusing capabilities, it clearly has broad...
Pros:
  • Canon EOS R shooters that want a compact
  • sharp lens for everyday shooting and closeup work
Cons:
  • Architectural photographers
  • or anyone that shoots in poor weather
  • or regularly needs to capture video (autofocus noise can be an issue)
