Pros:Lightweight, high-performance, bright and affordable.
Cons:I would say nothing.
Opinion:Among the best cheap lenses in the RF sector (not L series). Lightweight and compact, you forget you've put it on and it's a pleasure to shoot wherever you go. Bright enough for difficult situations, great blur, works excellently between f8 and f11, but is also fine at f4-5.6 (depending on the use you make of it). Together with the RF 85 f2 they are the pair that I always carry with me and with which I can really do everything. Highly recommended!
Opinion:A pleasant surprise among these "cheap" lenses of the RF series. Very usable at TA and with the subject close and the background relatively far away, it offers excellent performance both in terms of sharpness of the subject in the foreground and as a cut and blur, thanks to the 9 blades. These features give it a character that other 35mm doesn't have. From afar, the music changes, but once you get to know it and use it for the best it can give, it's a good purchase. Also considering the weight and size, really small for an f/1.8, it is often preferred to other 35mm even more performing but much more expensive, big, heavy and to be used with adapter. The minimum distance of MAF is remarkable.
Pros:Discreet, razor-sharp, light, compact and fuzzy, soft and "creamy".
Cons:For what it costs, it has no flaws. They could have put a gasket on the coupling, but that's not a problem either.
Opinion:A lens that literally captivates me. I took it on a cruise trip and in the various places visited I used almost only it (and the 70-210), being for me a really all-rounder. Essentially distortion-free and very sharp even at full aperture, it's a pleasure to use on any occasion. The semi-macro reproduction ratio is superb, making it an even more versatile lens. Since I got it, about 5 months ago, the 24-105, although more versatile and abundantly satisfying, is in fact resting. Optically very close to the RF 85 f/2.0 which I consider an L series, no ifs or buts. I regret not buying it sooner. Unbeatable value for money, for me it is passed with flying colors.
Pros:Sharpness, compactness, weight, 9-blade diaphragm and very very effective stabilizer
Cons:Usual missing hood, not tropicalized and lens extending externally
Opinion:I use this gem on Eos RP, I find it a really fantastic combination, as between camera and lens you get to "only" 800 grams. The optical quality is very high already from 1.8, I found myself very well even in rather dark places, where the stabilizer works real miracles! Also convenient to approach the macro, although in my opinion with a 35mm does not make much sense. The autofocus is fast but is not at the levels of the USM, too bad also for the piece of lens that protrudes on close subjects. It lacks the usual hood and the rubber ring that could make it more tropicalized, a real shame because the quality for me is high.
Cons:Optical quality at the edge, external autofocus movement
Opinion:Compared to the 'prime' zooms of the RF series, it only adds the advantage of a fixed lens with good brightness, given that all these lenses (16, 24, 35, 50, 85) are designed according to sw correction (aberrations and distortion) in the machine and in post production programs (Lightroom etc.). In summary, they produce good photos, with evident loss of detail at the edges of the wide openings and accomplish the task of preserving Canon's lightweight and compact mirrorless system. For quality photos, you need the L series, which have a much higher price and weight. The more I use this system, the more I feel the need for some good lenses between the basic and the top level!
