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.

A Must Have
This lens is amazing for portrait photography and hardly ever leaves my camera. It takes the crispiest images, focuses very quickly, and is relatively lightweight. This is one of those things that I would absolutely buy again in a heartbeat if something were to happen to my lens.

My best choice ❤️
I’ve been using the Canon 35mm lens for a while now, and it’s hands down one of my favorite pieces of gear. It’s the lens I reach for when I want my photos to feel warm, real, and cinematic—whether I’m shooting portraits, capturing everyday moments with my kids, or working with clients. What I love most is how versatile it is. The 35mm focal length feels just right—it gives enough context to the scene without distorting faces, and it’s wide enough to work in tight spaces. The depth of field is gorgeous too. Wide open, it gives me that dreamy, soft background I love, especially in natural light. The autofocus is fast and accurate, even when I’m shooting moving kids or working in slightly dim environments. And the image quality? Super sharp, with beautiful color rendering and contrast. It really fits my style—natural, lifestyle, slightly cinematic. I also appreciate how compact and light it is. I can carry it around all day without feeling weighed down, which is a huge plus for spontaneous photo walks or shooting content for Instagram Reels. Honestly, if I had to choose just one lens to shoot with, this would be it. It feels like an extension of how I see the world through the camera.
