Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Let me say that the price does not reflect the quality of this lens. I’m happy to pay the low price, but the lens is worth more than you will pay in my opinion, which is a good thing!! The auto focus is very fast. The control ring is new to me but I had no problem getting use to using it. If you don’t want to use it, you can simply leave it unassigned. The image quality is tack sharp but this isn’t too surprising being that #1 it’s a prime lens and #2 it’s Canon. I have EF lenses and I purchased the EF-RF adapter but I wanted to try at least one native RF lens and this was the least expensive option. After using this RF 35mm 1.8 I will definitely be spending some serious money on more RF lenses. Having the back of the lens sitting so close to the sensor with the large RF mount makes for amazing images. Don’t underestimate this lens!

The sharpness on this lens is impeccable. I own an EOS RP along with the kit lens and a 50mm f1.8. Recently added this to my collection and I am looking forward to adding an 85mm f2, a 16mm 1.8 and probably a bigger telephoto lens. I am just emerging into the photography/camera hobby. But this lens is good for cinematic video, close ups, and even portraits as well as macro and product photography. I recommend this

This lens does amazing and you cannot beat the price. Images are clear and well focused. I only give it 4 stars because the lens is loud. Out of all of mine it is the loudest and it is noticeable. It will take me some time to get used to that but I will. I consider it a must have for everyone's camera bag.

Just purchased the R5 and picked up this 35mm macro as a first lens.. I love macro photography, and this lens did not disappoint right out of the box! It's super easy to use, not too bulky, and i don't have to get my nose right into my subjects.

perfect first lens for an RF system, IS makes it easier to take video and the lens is very sharp even wide open. probably will be the only lens you need for most people. the macro capability lets you take up close photos of your pets. very cute. attached picture is a picture taken with the lens

amazing lens! great value for the price. the macro is actually pretty impressive on this lens even if it's not a 1:1 ratio.

This new tech product from Best Buy has been wonderful. It's incredibly fast and smooth, handling multiple tasks effortlessly. The display is vibrant and detailed, enhancing my viewing experience.

The lens is great. I walked by the lenses to check pricing and noticed they were much cheaper than what I have seen online. I asked a worker to check the price and we scanned the QR code and the website said it was more expensive. He said they would not honor the price on the electronic tag. I said that is not right, you can't label something one price then say its more expensive once I'm interested in buying it. Multiple workers came over, they tried to update the tag saying it wasn't reading right. After about 10 minutes of being flustered, eventually he said he would honor the price. Once he rang it up, it rang up the lower price. So the website had the wrong price and he argued with me for 10 minutes for no reason. I just hope he didn't do anything to it because he was mad that I was right.

Sharp and fast macro is really great and it’s a 1.8, my only beef is that the motor is a bit loud.

Very nice lens. I took these images at 2am, with EOS RP. it was dark outside, but pictures came out pretty nice and bright . Very versatile. I highly recommend it.

For years I would always have a 50mm in my camera bag but when I switched over to mirrorless on with my Canon RP something in me said give the 35mm a chance. The price isn't cheap but its so worth it. My portrait photography has reached a new level with this lens !

Excellent 35mm lens. I absolutely love the natural look this lens gives. The perfect range between a 16mm and a 50mm lens. A good price for an excellent RF prime lens.

Amazing lens to walk around with. Perfect for street photography. Macro shots. Amazing. The price is amazing also.

Everyone should own a 35mm. Sharp fast focus and great in low light enough said.

In loving this lens. Easy to use at events and also for macro. Auto focus is a bit slower when recording.

This is a great lens. I decided to get this over the 50mm 1.8 because it’s much more versatile being wider, having image stabilization and have a nice macro feature.

Solid build. Surprisingly excellent lens for the price point. Canon RF STIKES GOLD AGAIN!

Great, light, compact, fast and wonderfully sharp, stabilized lens for your landscape, street, and macro photos!

A go to prime lens for just about anything, and very crisp!
