The RF35mm F1.4 L VCM is an entirely new L-series lens, targeting a wide range of still-image and video shooters, with a combination of very moderate wide-angle coverage, a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and excellent optical design. On a full frame camera this lens gives you a slightly wide-angle look which has for decades been used in photojournalism and street photography, and has become a very popular wedding shoot look. On the video side, this lens really shines with a dedicated manual Iris ring, and a new linear focus motor called a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that is virtually silent. The VCM works in tandem with a Nano USM on the floating focus unit for incredibly fast autofocus. And finally, focus breathing is barely noticeable on this incredibly versatile lens.
Some items like your keys or wallet you just take everywhere you go because you just never know. For anyone with an EOS R series camera, add the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens to that list. As part of the EOS R System, it’s nice and compact thanks to its RF mount so you can shoot – and get a great shot – anywhere and anytime. Size isn’t all though. As a fixed focal length lens, it lets you be creative with composition and can be used for a wide range of scenes from snapshots to portraits, landscapes to low-light situations and more. Those images will stand out, too, just like you intend whether on social media, or when sharing or printing, thanks to impressive optical features like a PMo aspherical lens to suppress aberrations, Super Spectra coating to reduce flaring and ghosting, and a large f/1.8 aperture for low-light shooting and beautiful bokeh. Pick it up and use it one time and you’ll see for yourself, and you won’t be able to leave the house without it.
RF28mm F2.8 STM lens is a super-compact, wide-angle lens great for travel, street photography, and video and is a great entry point for full frame EOS R cameras. Great for still photography and videography, 28mm has been the starting point for getting a wide-angle “look” in pictures and video for decades — wide enough on a full-frame camera, to have a distinct wide-angle character, and yet not so wide that it becomes a challenge to use. This lens absolutely can also be used with APS-C sensor EOS R-series cameras, like the EOS R7, R10, and R50. Its super-compact design combines beautifully with them, and on an APS-C sensor, it provides coverage equal to a standard 45mm lens. Its super-flat design belies the fact that this lens delivers 28mm wide-angle coverage on full frame cameras, along with an f/2.8 maximum aperture. The lens’s minimum focus distance is approximately 9 inches; it accepts 55mm filters, and with the incredibly small front lens element, it uses an optional, dedicated Canon screw-in lens hood EW-55. This compact 28mm RF lens is worth checking out, even if you already own other wide-angle lenses, and carries an attractive price, putting it within reach of many Canon EOS R-series users.

My Go-To Lens for Stunning Macros and Everyday Sho
I’ve been using the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM with my EOS R-series camera, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite lenses. The image quality is fantastic—sharp even wide open at f/1.8, with beautiful background blur that adds a professional look to everyday shots. The macro capability is a huge bonus. While it’s not a true 1:1 macro, the 0.5x magnification has been perfect for close-ups of flowers, textures, food, and small objects. It also handles portraits, street, and general photography really well. Autofocus is smooth and silent thanks to the STM motor, making it great for both photo and video. The built-in image stabilization works well, especially helpful in low-light situations or when shooting macro handheld. Build quality is solid but lightweight, so it’s easy to carry all day without feeling bulky. I do wish it were weather-sealed, but for the price and performance, it’s a terrific value. Overall, this lens punches way above its weight class. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a versatile, compact, and sharp RF prime lens.

Simple, functional, but manage your expectations.
This lens is not spectacular, but it's solid for its price point. Manage your expectations, and you're likely to be quite pleased. It's good, no doubt. It takes good photos, and lets in lots of light. But expect too much from it, and you'll probably be let down. This is the third lens I've bought from Canon since getting into photography, and the first one that didn't use the nano USM focusing motors. As such, I expected the autofocus to be a bit slower, but I didn't anticipate that it would be so clearly audible as well. There is definitely a performance difference there, but how much that affects you will depend on what you use your lenses for. It's noisy, but it's not loud. It's also not weather-sealed like my other lenses are, so you have to be a bit more careful in monitoring your environment. Overall, it takes good quality pictures, and has a nice wide aperture which makes it great for low-light or creating a very narrow depth-of-field, but just make sure you know what you're getting. This is a pretty cheap lens, after all. Much of my own disappointment in this lens was that I didn't do enough homework on it beforehand. I wanted to pick up a wide-aperture lens for an upcoming trip to Disney World, specifically to try to photograph some of the indoor, low-light ride scenes, and didn't want to spend a ton on a somewhat niche photography objective. I was fixated on things like maximum aperture and minimum price, and didn't put enough thought into focal length and macro performance. I was struggling to decide between three lenses; this one, the cheaper 50mm f/1.8, and the slightly pricier 24mm f/1.8. Ultimately, I decided on this one because it was cheaper than the 24mm and advertised a macro performance component that the 50mm did not. I figured the macro element would give me some more creative flexibility. As it turns out, based on how I'm using it at least, I would have been better off going with either the wider focal length or the lower cost, as this is not quite wide enough for many of the indoor shots where I cannot back away from the scene any further, and the macro performance is not great. It's more like "pseudo-macro", or "macro-lite", since the magnification factor is only 0.5x, as opposed to most true macro lenses which generally offer 1.0x or greater. In summary, I will say that I recommend this lens for some buyers, but not all. Make sure you know how you plan to use it. Go ahead and get this if you just want an affordable 35mm prime lens with solid image quality and a wide aperture that will allow you to take pictures in low-light, and if you don't need lightning fast autofocus, aren't worried about shooting out in the elements, or if you don't plan to require any sort of serious macro performance. But please do not get suckered-in by the fact that this lens says "macro" on it. I'd suggest that if you're legitimately interested in getting into macro photography, that you do a bit more homework than I did, and maybe check out the RF100mm f/2.8 L that Canon offers instead. Yes, you'll be paying a little more than twice as much (based on current pricing), and you'll lose about 1.3 stops of light, and you'll be carrying a larger lens that weighs about double what this one does. But the trade-off is that you'll gain a lot in terms of build quality, weather-sealing, autofocus speed and performance, and have a 1.4x magnification like a true macro lens. This lens is fine, but it's definitely a case of "you get what you pay for." I'll attach a few photos from my trip, both indoor in the dark, and outside in the daylight. For reference, my camera is a Canon EOS R6mii. For the purposes of full disclosure, these are my finished edits. I tried to attach the unedited originals to this review, but the file sizes were too large. So you're getting the edited versions instead.

ThDo it All Lens Makes You Leave Your Zoom at Home
This 35mm compact lens really does it all. Great, and I mean great image stabilization (IS), big 1.8 aperture and nice dreamy bokeh (out of focus backgrounds), macro-capable (not true macro, but really close), and Canon's super smooth (and super quiet) STM focusing! The focal length of 35mm is surprisingly handy for just about everything: Just wide enough for street photography, nature, etc but can get close enough for portraiture. You can "zoom with your feet" to cover an effective range of about 28-50mm or so and you can cover much more than that by cropping in Lightroom or whichever app you use for photo editing. This lens is seriously sharp (which helps if your cropping) and optically near perfect. Canon camera's correct for distortion in the camera body also. I'm done with bulky, heavy cameras with ridiculously heavy zoom lenses! The only lens that this doesn't replace is a tele-zoom. I would much rather use this than a 24-70mm. It's sharper, lighter (probably 1/4 the weight) and brighter (max f-stop) than any zoom in this range. I love the programmable ring which I set to control the aperture! Great build quality with a metal lens mount-just because it's light, doesn't mean it feels cheap. I have this lens mounted on the Canon EOS RP and from that combo, I get great full-frame stills with great color, sharpness, bokeh and ditto for the video with this lens' silent STM focusing and Canons magical Dual Pixel Autofocus (DPAF). It's almost eery how the camera/lens focuses on the right stuff at the right time.
