Great little lens, hard-working and high-quality. Glad we got it

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.

Perfect lens for a beginner like myself! I recommend this if you are looking to branch out into more professional looking portraits!

It’s ~$500. Today that’s bargain basement for a full frame lens. That being said, it produces good results, in certain conditions it gets great results. In a studio or a setting where you can control lighting you can create images almost indistinguishable from a $2000 lens. Only the most critical eye looking for minute soft focus will find fault. But, if you take a backlit shot or have a light source cast across the lens at near 90 degrees…. The flares and glare overwhelm it. I bought the lens primarily for video on my R5 and gimble. The extremely light weight helps balance the camera compared to the 15-35mm beast. The focus motor is a little noisy but I don’t use the camera mic anyway. Autofocus is consistently good but not particularly fast. I wish canon sold the lens with a hood, they are available separately from canon. I would say it’s an absolute must-have for this lens. Charge $550 and include it to save us waiting for shipping. In summary, this lens is worth the money. Everyone should have a 35mm prime in their collection and this lightweight lens is a good option (the only 35mm RF option, thanks canon).

Love this lens! Small and compact. Super sharp images.

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.

Fast focus, very lightweight, great lens for the price!

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.

My favorite lens. Autofocus works great and can be used for portraits as well

my go to lens for my r50. use it for everything. landscape, portraits and upclose

An amazing lense the priduce awesome bokeh at the fraction of the price of the L version. The quality of the build is solid even with some apprarent plastic feeling materials.

Very great lens! Works well with the type of work that I do.

Love this lens! Very versatile & the quality is great!

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

Great lens even better price! Love it. Beginner friendly.

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

IT IS NOT A PRIME LENS, BUT FOR WHAT IT COSTS IT IS QUITE EFFICIENT, I WOULD SAY IT EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS, IDEAL FOR WORKING ON AN EXCELLENT ACQUISITION

This lens was light weight and took great photos! Very happy with the focal length!

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.
