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.

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.

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.

- 1:2 macro reproduction
- Optical stabilization
- Bright aperture
- Attractive price
- Some barrel distortion
- Vignette at wide apertures
- No weather sealing or fluorine coating
- Doesn't include lens hood or pouch
Great value for the money
I bought the Canon RF 35mm F1,8 alongside the new R6 a few months ago.
