Canon RF f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens review

A 35mm 0.5x macro lens may be an odd choice for one of the RF line’s first few lenses, but it’s nice to have a compact alternative to the other optics released so far. It’s a shame it’s not a true macro lens, but if you think of it more as a wide-aperture, wide-angle with the advantage of...
Pros:
  • Compact and well balanced on EOS R, Great build quality, Lens control ring is a useful inclusion, Fast AF system, Great sharpness at moderate apertures, Very good corner sharpness wide open

Canon RF f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens review

Pros:
  • Strong optical performance in almost every metric, from sharpness to flare, Surprisingly advanced handling features for an inexpensive lens, with extensive manual controls, Built-in image stabilization is unusual for a 35mm prime and works well, Impressive close-up capabilities make it a very...
Cons:
  • No weather sealing, Externally focusing design feels cheap and is less weatherproof, Vignetting is on the high side, Lens hood is not included (and if you do get one, it attaches to the moving portion of the barrel), Focusing is loud and hunts more often than most Canon RF lenses in low light,...

Canon RF f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens review

The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM is the dark horse of the new Canon full-frame mirrorless system. By far the cheapest, lightest and most compact RF lens, it's also arguably the most versatile too, doubling up as both a great 35mm prime and a 1:2 magnification macro lens.

Canon RF f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens review

Although not the perfect choice for the EOS RP, the RF 35mm f/1.8 is the only RF-mount lens so far that fits comfortably on the lighter, more compact camera body. It’s also the most affordable of the RF lenses on offer so far.
