Customers are saying

Customers find value in the RF35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM Macro Lens for EOS R-Series Cameras' excellent image quality, macro capabilities, and wide aperture. The lens is also praised for its affordable price, lightweight design, and versatile performance, especially in low light conditions. However, some customers have noted the lens lacks weather sealing. Overall, the lens's size makes it convenient for everyday photography.

    Sharpest Lens I Have

    Wow is all I can say. This lens is wonderful and the focal length is just what I need. I normally shoot with a 50mm lens during weddings but now this is my go to lens. The extra added macro feature is just icing on the cake. This lens produces some of the sharpest images that I've ever had on any camera. You won't go wrong with it.

    Im an environmental portrait photographer so I love the wide angle and the shallow ability I have with this lens. When shooting weddings, you most of the time need all the wideness you can get.

    Great 1st prime lens for your new mirrorless camera. The shallow depth of field gives you those nice blurry backgrounds your looking for and the image stabilization works great on this. Great for low light shooting and autofocus on this lens is fast and quite. The macro capabilities are pretty good and for the price, this lens is worth it.

    I bought it to take pictures of insects, but it didn't work for me. The guy who helped me at Best Buy said it was perfect for that, but he lied to me, and now I don't use it because that's not what the lens is for. And i cant return it or trade it sadly

    Does offer a wide-ish perspective but not even close to distortion. The lens is awesome, I love and utilize the control ring canon offers on their RF lens a lot and the lens has great quality. One of the better lower end canon lenses I own

    Happy camper! I needed a wider focal length for my R6 and I wasn’t sure which RF lens to purchase. I’m extremely happy with the images I get from this lens. The price isn’t bad and you get a amazing lens without breaking the bank.

    I’ve used this lens for over a month and it’s my new favorite lens. This is my first RF lens and I wasn’t expecting to love this lens more than my 50mm. It’s great for landscape and family sessions. Worth the money.

    This lens shoots good photos but what I find poor about this lens is that it doesn't come with a lens hood. The one that you can get isn't the normal lens hood either and offers no protection for accidental bumps. For the price compared to "L" lenses it gets the job done. It takes wonderful photos even indoors with low lighting. The Macro is a bonus too.
