The RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM makes for a lightweight and comfortable, all-day lens suitable for everyday snapshots, travel and macro photography. The 35mm focal length captures subjects with a natural look that closely resembles your normal field of vision.
The RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM features a lens control ring for customisable control over shutter speed, ISO or exposure compensation. The easy-to-identify textured surface gives you tangible feedback to adjust while looking through the viewfinder and concentrating on your subject.
Keep on shooting long after the sun goes down thanks to a fast and wide f/1.8 maximum aperture that captures every detail with superb edge to edge sharpness.
Get up close and personal. The RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM can focus from a distance of 17cm magnified up to 0.5x. Handy for more intricate shots like food, flowers and smaller subjects you really want to show off, it opens up a world of possibilities for creative expression.
Shoot with confidence even when light levels drop. The RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM is designed to work in conjunction with an EOS R series camera, with both the camera and the lens sharing data to reduce camera-shake blur. With up to 5 stops of Image Stabilization, it delivers impressively clear results when shooting handheld.
The RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM uses a gear-type stepping motor to provide smooth and quiet autofocus, so focusing appears natural and seamless. Have clean transitions when moving between subjects or when focusing from the foreground to background, creating professional looking footage.
“This lens is likely to be attractive to buyers of the EOS R and RP cameras. Its 63-degree angle of view is usable for landscapes, environmental portraiture and street photography, while the compact size and light weight of the lens make it ideal for travellers.”
