Although not a new idea in the wider photography world, this is the first time that Canon have incorporated this idea into their interchangeable lenses. The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM feels solid in your hand, even if it is mostly made out of plastic, and it features enhanced resistance to shock and vibration too.Ī new feature for RF lenses is the Lens Control Ring at the end of the lens barrel, which can be used to control certain key camera settings.
It's also by far the smallest lens in the fledgling RF range, being dwarfed by the 24-105mm f/4 kit zoom and especially the 50mm f/1.2 and 24-70mm f/2 lenses.īuild quality is very good. The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM is a pretty small and compact prime lens, weighing in at 305g and measuring 6.3cm in length, which is very similar to the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM DSLR lens.
The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM officially retails for £519 / €519 / $499 in the UK, Europe and the USA respectively, making it the cheapest RF lens available at the launch of the Canon EOS R system. The RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM is a versatile moderate-wide-angle prime lens for Canon's new full-frame mirrorless camera system.įeaturing a 1:2 macro design with a minimum focusing distance of 17cm, STM stepping motor for smooth, precise and quiet continuous auto-focusing, Super Spectra coating on the lens elements to minimize ghosting and flare, 9 rounded diaphragm blades for smoother bokeh, and image stabilisation offering a claimed 5-stop advantage, the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM is a capable all-rounder.
