Customer Ratings & Reviews

As the saying goes, "Everyone needs a fifty." This is a wonderful substitute for the much more costly version Canon sells.

Needed to add this lens to my bag for group photo's. Nice, love it.

I wanted a portrait lens for APS-C sensor camera(80D). So I went for 50mm 1.8 lens but the lens acts as 80mm with 2.88f due to the crop factor of APS-C sensor. After doing some research, I went for the 35mm lens. This is just perfect for me. It works like a 50mm on my 80D body. The picture is sharp and the built quality is far better than both 50mm 1.4f and 1.8f.

This has replaced my 18-200mm walking around lens. What a nice lens.

This is my new favorite lens! The images are clean and crisp.

I have been shooting DSLR's for close to 10 years now. Over that time I have collected most of the L primes; 35, 50, 85, 135. I recently upgraded to the 5D Mark IV and found it's video AF to be so good, I have started using the camera for video more. But every video was a little shaky. So on a bit of a whim, I purchased the 35 f/2 IS. I do have to say up front that 35mm is my preferred focal length. That said, this thing is sharper than the 35L (version 1) and the IS makes it outstanding for video. Not sure why this lens doesn't have a red ring around it, but I would highly recommend it for any Canon shooter!

I use this on my old t3i and it works like a dream! Excellent crisp images. Fast focus. Quiet. It is a little heavy though.

Fantastic. Sharp and excellent in low light. Good feel and quality to the build.

A perfect mid size lens for my full frame Canon 6D. This will be my go to lens from now on. I also love the smaller F stop.

This lens is what it says. Excellent quality over the kit lenses, great in low light and great up close.

This lens has become my go to for low light wide angle full frame. I use this with a 6DII and a 77D. For the price it’s sharp when stopped down to F2.8. Also since it’s wide you have to get close for bokeh but that’s what wide angles do. This lens stays in my camera bag! Great walking around prime!

Great wide-angle lens. Amazing how close you can get and still get everything in your shot.

This is one of my walk around lens and I like the images that I get with it. It was purchased to replace my previous canon 35mm lens which is no longer produced and had now been paired with my older camera. Good bokeh, clean shots and nicely hand held shots.

I bought this lens 10month ago I'm using 1d mk4 with this lens. I think this one better than sigma 35mm f1.4 art Totally this lens awesome

This lens is perfect for FX or DX cameras. It's small and light and works great in low light.

This is my go to lens for my business. I use this more than my L's. Once my daughter decided to start her own photography business I knew that I had to get this lens for her. She is just as happy with it.

Great for portraits and fast. Lightweight and the lens cover is better than the old ones.

I strongly debated between this lens and the Sigma 35mm. After reading reviews I opted to save the money and purchase the Canon 35 F2 with zero regrets. The colors SOOC are awesome, the IS is so useful in low light situations for optimal use of slower shutter speed. It's now on my camera body 75% of the time.

Excellent lens but little pricey for it's specification. There are other lens like sigma 35mm or sigma 18-35mm f1.4 with same price and better quality. I ay buy it again if price is down in $500 range.

A very good lens for street photography with F2 faster aperture. This enables you to capture streets during night time when streets come alive. I would highly recommend this lens.
