RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro STM lens

The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM lens is a wide-angle prime for Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras. It combines a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture with 0.5x macro magnification for close-up work. Optical image stabilisation rated at five stops helps keep handheld shots sharp. An STM motor delivers quiet, smooth autofocus for stills and video.

Versatile wide prime for hybrid shooters

Photographers who want a single lens for street, landscape and close-up detail will appreciate the 35 mm focal length and 6.7 cm minimum focus distance. The 52 mm filter thread accepts standard accessories. Videographers benefit from silent STM focusing and stable handheld footage. Buyers needing 1:1 macro reproduction or a longer telephoto reach should consider other optics.

Bright aperture with half-life-size macro

The f/1.8 aperture provides shallow depth-of-field control and strong low-light performance at 35 mm. At the closest focus distance the lens reaches 0.5x magnification, suitable for flowers, textures and small product shots. Beyond that range it behaves as a conventional wide prime. The 0.68 kg weight and 2.9 in diameter keep the package compact for everyday carry.

Questions about this item

Does this RF-mount lens need an adapter to work on my EOS R camera?

The lens uses the native Canon RF mount so it attaches directly to any EOS R-series body without an adapter.

Will the 0.5x magnification still function if I add the optional extension tube?

The lens provides 0.5x magnification on its own; adding an extension tube increases magnification further but reduces infinity focus.

How can I confirm the 5-stop optical stabiliser is active after mounting the lens?

Half-press the shutter to engage IS, then check the viewfinder for the stabiliser icon and listen for the subtle hum of the correction unit.
