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 IS Macro STM review

A 35mm 0.5x macro lens may be an odd choice for one of the RF line's first few lenses, but it's nice to have a compact alternative to the other optics released so far. It's a shame it's not a true macro lens, but if you think of it more as a wide-aperture, wide-angle with the advantage of...

  • Compact and well balanced on EOS R
  • Great build quality
  • Lens control ring is a useful inclusion
