The CANON RF 35MM F/1.8 MACRO IS STM LENS is a versatile wide-angle prime lens designed for Canon RF full-frame mirrorless cameras. It combines a natural 35mm field of view with macro capabilities, making it suitable for everyday photography, close-up detail work, travel, street photography, and video content creation.
With its bright f/1.8 aperture and built-in image stabilization, this lens performs well in low light while maintaining sharp and stable handheld shots. Its 0.5x macro capability allows photographers to capture detailed close-up images, making it more versatile than standard 35mm primes.
Compact, lightweight, and close-focusing, the RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM from Canon is a unique wide-angle prime mixing the versatility of a general wide lens with the specialty of a 1:2 macro optic. An advanced optical design is benefitted by a Super Spectra coating, which helps to control flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color accuracy when working in bright or backlit conditions. Capable of focusing down to 6.7" at half life-size, this lens is ideal for photographing everything from close-ups of plants to street scenes and landscapes. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture offers increased control over depth of field and also suits working in a variety of lighting conditions. Complementing this is a five stop-effective image stabilization, which minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Also, an STM motor affords impressively quiet and smooth autofocus performance and full-time manual focus override. Additionally, a configurable Control Ring lets you adjust exposure settings, including ISO, aperture, and exposure compensation, from the lens itself.
