![]() Natural light photographers will love this lens and the image quality and color it produces. This lens keeps up amazingly in a well-lit environment. I’ve found a few important points to consider in regards to focus with the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro lens: it performs great in well-lit scenarios, it’s not the loudest motor I’ve ever used but it is far from outwardly silent, its sharp throughout the aperture range as well as in macro modes, and it’s mediocre in speed. In use on the Canon mirrorless bodies I’ve used it with, the lens feels very balanced and lightweight as a unit.Ĭanon R5 + Canon 35mm f/1.8 | 1/100 f/1.8 ISO800 I do have small hands so if you have a wider grip, I can see the proximity of the two rings posing a challenge. I use this front control ring to adjust my iso when paired with my Canon EOS R (which is lacking in control wheels). The control ring turns smoothly and has a buttery soft “cluck” to indicate points of turn and the texture difference between the front control ring and the focus ring makes it easy to find. The front control ring is where I found one of the sweet spots on this lens. The location of the IS and focus toggles are familiar and nothing remarkable to say about the fit of the front lens cap – those parts are standard. ![]() When I first took it out of the box, I was unimpressed with the plastic look of the front element and the feel of the body, but the metallic ring accents salvage the design. The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro lens at first glance looks to be of a less luxurious build, but the image results make up for the lack of outward appeal. I have also used this lens successfully for detailed commercial marketing images involving food and production, as well as video in natural light scenarios. The Canon 35mm f/1.8 Macro is great for natural light portraits and an affordable option for wedding and event photography involving well-lit scenes, detail work, and macro imaging. I thought it would be a limited-use lens for full-time pros, but it really turned out to be more versatile than at first glance. It actually sat in my bag for a couple of months before I even used it but once I did, this little affordable lens really surpassed my initial expectations in both photo and light video work. The Canon 35mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro lens fit the immediate need I had for a backup RF lens with its affordable price range, lightweight, and small size. I had an older Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 for emergencies but I wanted an affordable RF option that would be able to replace my RF 28-70 f/2 if (knock on wood) anything ever went wrong with that lens during use. ![]() Like having two lenses for the price of one. Affordable and lightweight wide-angle prime lens with impressive macro capabilities.
