The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM is a versatile prime lens designed for the RF mount, offering a wide perspective that works well for street photography, travel, and everyday snapshots. Its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture allows you to capture images in low-light environments and create a soft, blurred background that makes your subjects stand out. Inside the compact body, 11 elements arranged in 9 groups work together with a 9-blade rounded diaphragm to ensure smooth bokeh. The lens is particularly capable for close-up work, featuring a minimum focus distance of just 0.17 meters and a 0.5x maximum magnification, which lets you capture fine details of small objects. To keep your shots steady, it includes built-in image stabilization providing up to 5 stops of shake correction, while the STM motor ensures that autofocus is quiet and fluid during both stills and video recording. Weighing only 305 g and measuring 74.4 x 62.8 mm, this lens is easy to carry all day without adding bulk to your camera bag. The exterior is designed for practical use with a water and dust resistant body, an AF/MF switch, and a dedicated stabilizer toggle. It comes equipped with an EW-52 lens hood and E-52 II cap, fitting a 52 mm filter diameter, making it a reliable choice for photographers who need a lightweight, all-purpose tool for various shooting conditions.
