Customers are saying

Customers recognize the excellent image quality as a major strength of the product. They also appreciate its impressive macro capabilities, wide aperture, and good value, along with its manageable weight, size, versatility, and strong low light performance. However, a minor point of concern is the lack of weather sealing.

    I’ve been wanting to buy this lens for a while. When the price dropped I jumped in. The IS is increíble. I use this Lens with my Canon EOS R6 anda it’s a great fit. I love shooting handled and it’s perfect.

    I keep this lens in my camera bag for wedding days. Works great for all the macro detail shots I want without taking up a lot of space in my bag! It’s actually my second one as my wife stole the first one.

    Great walk around lens, returns awesome pics on the R6. Only complaint I would say is there seems to be a lot of friction attaching lens to camera, which is weird since there is no weather sealing gasket

    This lens is crystal clear. The autofocus works perfectly and its quiet enough to film movies and fast enough to film music videos (which is primarily what I used it for) but its a steal at this price

    This lens is 35mm f1.8 with IS and macro feature. The Stabilizer give users 5-stops, so it really useful. I never use a prime lens with IS before. For this lens. It is my best 35mm prime lens ever

    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

    Probably my most used lens for my canon R6, it's an amazing budget lens. you can do so much with it. Not as perfectly sharp as the L lens but it's quite good for the price!

    This is the 2nd 35 I’ve owned. I sold the first, when I ditched Canon for Sony…..but once I came back, it was one of the first lenses on the list! And it’s a macro!

    Great lens for the price! needed a wide lens that wouldn't break the bank and the bonus is the 1.8 macro! great for close ups and macro shots. Mainly use for wide shots!
