sent on February 27, 2023 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. |
sent on November 29, 2022 Pros: Lightness, versatility 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! |
sent on August 03, 2022 Pros: Lightweight, compact. Cons: Vignette a lot. Opinion: I kept it for 2 years, first with the RP and then with the R5. It is an honest lens: small, light, compact, stabilized and even partially Macro at a reasonable price. I sold it because it didn't satisfy me for portraits (the Sigma ART 35mm 1.4 is on another planet). With open apertures vignette so much, too much for my taste, the AF is not lightning. In general it is a good lens but it does not excel in anything, but on the other hand the price is low and therefore there is that it is so. I recommend it for street so as not to catch the eye, to those who want to use it for traveling or in general want to be light. |
sent on March 10, 2022 Pros: Compact; light. Cons: If we really want to say something: autofocus not really silent. Opinion: It was my first RF lens, first used with Eos RP, then with Eos R. It is a lens that lends itself well to various genres: Street, Landscapes, Portraits set and, of course, Macro, also these preferably set. The lens is very sharp, even at full aperture. The feature that in my opinion makes it unique is the magnificent rendering of the blurred. I struggle to describe it in words. I try saying that it is a lens endowed with character and personality. It gives results in terms of three-dimensionality and plasticity of the image difficult to obtain, even with much more noble and expensive lenses. To be recommended absolutely. |
sent on January 19, 2022 Pros: Lightness, programmable bezel, definition Cons: Not very fast AF, optical external forward Opinion: Lens to say the least wonderful, given the price. Excellent for street use and set portrait, it can also be used for some "macro" shots (although it has nothing to do with macro lenses with a 1x magnification ratio). At full aperture it is a razor, I have not noticed any chromatic aberration in backlight situations, some small signs of vignetting always at TA (which is corrected in post with a single click). To be added absolutely to any R kit. |
sent on January 02, 2022 Pros: Lightweight and compact Cons: Not very fast Opinion: Incredible goal. Very clear at all openings, excellent color rendering, very good "macro" rendering. It has an additional bezel that I have programmed as a diaphragm, very comfortable. As a travel lens it is excellent, given lightness and compactness. Nothing to say, I would recommend it unreservedly if the focal length is to your liking. The blur is very pleasant. The focus is sometimes not very fast, especially from one extreme to the other, but still more than good. |
sent on December 20, 2021 Pros: Super sharpness already from f1.8, very effective stabilization, very pleasant bokeh, compact and light but well built, extra control ring Cons: Nobody Opinion: I use the rf 35 f1.8 on eos r, honestly before trying it I would not have expected all the quality that offers this small lens among other things very light has an impressive sharpness already at full aperture, autofocus that on eos r focuses even almost in the dark, very little distortion and a very effective stabilizer that in static photos allows me to shoot at 1/8 of a second freehand with perfectly sharp photos, to be picky there is only a little vignetting at full aperture that in the lightroom disappears with a click |
sent on December 07, 2021 Pros: Small, sharp, lightweight, compact Cons: Nothing to declare Opinion: I have long been undecided between this and Sigma Art, I chose what I found first on the market. For me it is the ace of briscola: very compact, stabilized, fast AF (on R6), great beautiful colors and perfectly usable at full aperture, plus it is also macro. It detaches the subject much more from the background than the 35 EF IS that I had and that has never thrilled me. A short time ago I had the opportunity to use it at a wedding alongside 35 Art, both on R6: it seems to me that it has much more character, the photos of Art I find them flatter on equal terms. In combo with the RF 16 it forms a truly pocket-sized and high-quality kit. |
sent on November 18, 2021 Pros: Lightweight, stabilized, compact, sharp Cons: tropicalization Opinion: I often read that it is not considered a very sharp lens but on the contrary for my experience on the EOS R (will it only be mine?!) I find it really sharp at all apertures with negligible distortion. A real all-round do par excellence that in the end makes me leave all the other goals at home ..... for those who do street, a SHOW! obviously I can not help but note that it could be tropicalized but I understand well that it would have been an L series from at least 1000 €! Brava CANON lens promoted and recommended absolutely! |
sent on October 07, 2021 Pros: Compact, stabilized, excellent macro. Cons: Somewhat slow focus, external lens excursion Opinion: Taken for L my Canon rp. What can I say. A good lens to use for the street, even for video, given the stabilized. I find it great, I also have a sigma art 35 1.4 a poem, but at the same time it is heavy, and when I go out I prefer to bring rf since there is no need for the adapter and it is more compact. What can I say, a great all-rounder. As for the focus, criticized by all. Actually it is a bit annoying, to me sincerely annoying this external advancement of the optics. I would have preferred an internal movement without lens excursions and also a compactness similar to the rf 50 mm 1.8 or the new rf 16 mm that is about to come out. But the stabilization I know that forced canon designers to increase the size. In summary . Yes I recommend it |
sent on August 04, 2021 Pros: Light and compact, stabilized, macro, handyman par excellence Cons: NO TROPICALIZATION, slow AF after barrel extension, AF noise, sharpness not at the top, nondescript bokeh Opinion: I bought this 35 RF for my Eos R with no little distrust in trying to reduce its size, long undecided between Tamron and sigma art. In the end I fell in love with it to the point of leaving all the other most prestigious optics at home. I knew I was going to have a noisy and slow AF. But then, while for the first defect I could not do anything but confirm it, for the AF speed I noticed that it slows down only after having the barrel extended in macro mode (1 meter, about??), otherwise it works great. The sharpness at 1.8 is not tears in the eyes, but it is also not something unusable or undeful. The stabilization guarantees him an even more combative all-rounder spirit, useful even on video or with little light. No A.C. or flares worthy of note found. The two most important defects that I found are: the lack of tropicalization, a blow to the heart for such an all-rounder optics and the "character" of the blurry: very hard, anonymous, very little poetic (similar to the various 50 1.8 Canon) I recommend trying it, because on R system it continues to cost / weigh / clutter at least half of any other 35mm adapted and because it does everything that is basically needed. It may surprise you! |
sent on July 27, 2021 Pros: Light, bright, defined, stabilized Cons: Evident vignetting at TA, supplied without bag and without hood (very expensive optional), is not a real macro, STM engine, not tropicalized. Opinion: Lens purchased to evaluate on the R6 the practicality of the new ring that at the end of the day did not make me say ... wow. Lens provided so naked and raw with only the box! The STM focus motor is a bit noisy and maybe even a bit rough (slow) compared to nano-USMs. It produces an obvious vignetting that falls with apertures from f4 onwards, the definition is good on the whole frame, excellent at f5.6. I did not notice chromatic aberration, bokeh not particularly exhilarating but pleasant. It is not a real macro but has a minimum focus at 17cm with a 1:2 magnification ratio. The construction is taken care of but the barrel is made of plastic of not excellent quality with metal attachment, it is not tropicalized. Recommended lens to access the new RF system with a lens dedicated to it, not EF with additional. |
sent on December 11, 2020 Pros: - bright and stabilized - nice sharp - light, makes the Rp a compact Cons: - autofocus stm, it doesn't give me any problems but it's clear that nano usm is another thing. - oddities .... that is, that attached to the rp even when off if I move the selector af/mf, the lens moves back and forth ... to be turned off?! Opinion: Well I went from m50 to RP, this lens replaces 1000% the 22mm f/2 I had before, plus it is stabilized and also brighter... what more do you want? I also find it sharp at TA, of course at f/2.8 it is even more so but I have to say that even at the edges it satisfies me very well. It makes the Rp a compact FF, light, stabilized... well I gave him a nice 9! It is clear that it may seem plastic, fat compared to a 35 art, but I tried them both and x 3 reasons I sold immediately after trying the sigma and the canon I kept it. - the 35 art needs adapter and does not have corrections in the room, and at TA ugly vignette. - the 35 art is absolutely not sharper than the canon (I will provide evidence) - the 35 rf does not need an adapter, has corrections in the chamber, is sharper at the edges without a shadow of a doubt and is also stabilized. The art is wonderful and in your hand you can immediately notice why it is ART, but I am sorry , costing a lot more I believed it better as an image quality, definitely better, it will have that additional stop but I would not do anything about it, I recover it with the stabilizer of the rf. I must admit I couldn't update the fw of 35 art because I don't have the dock, but I don't know if it can affect its surrender on Canon rp or not. I took the 35mm rf used it for just over 300€ , and it was a crazy purchase. Next arrival? 85mm f/2 is stm, it won't be f/1.4 but if it takes from the little brother 35rf I have... will also be this top. |
sent on October 17, 2020 Pros: Size, Price, Af prociso, handling Cons: Noise, AF speed Opinion: To do close up and for a street use it is definitely a good goal, sufficiently fast, practical, on my R6 it adapts perfectly and with the programmable electronic ring it becomes a great tool in the hands of a professional as a photoadamator. I've used little macro and just on trial, and I get the impression that it's not the ultimate in focus. Absolutely to take given the price the utility and the great results you get. The compactness it has combined with an R6, the overall weight and practicality are absolutely worth the money spent. |
sent on October 08, 2020 Pros: Small, cheap, versatile, macro Cons: Noisy Autofocus, slows down when switching to Macro mode Opinion: A lens that I bought strategically for weddings, sacrificing the L series first series. The idea of having a lens that would allow me to close up on rings and details interested me a lot. I'm happy possessor with some distinctions. I find the overall sharpness good, the operating speed good in most cases except when it does not find fire and stretches in Macro mode. It's still noisy compared to a traditional USM. For the rest at the tactile level I like the new coating, small and chubby at the right point, attached to the r without having to mount excellent adapters, the combo on the shoulder does not even feel. If you accept the minuses and if you need a 35 that with the macro becomes a 360-degree handyman, great choice. |
sent on September 05, 2020 Pros: Light, Compact, Great for Video, Stabilized, Sharp from 2.8, PRECISE AF Cons: Lack of standard lampshade Opinion: For the shots it is a bit "dark" in a situation of little luke. If you do street or landscapes has nothing to fear. The front diameter of the lens is definitely narrow. It has the advantage of making the EOS R handy, small and light. Although I see dissenting opinions, I personally found AF precise and fast (in a flurry of shots, AF Servo with baby running, did not miss one). The color yield is good (not at the levels of an L lens). As everything do is a good lens, the cost is justified: RF is a new graft. For the videos it was a surprise... Precise lightweight versatile that can be used without gimbal. For the macro is short but great for those who want a lens all do. I would recommend it to everyone. |
sent on April 30, 2020 Pros: Light and compact, good but not too much at 1.8, Cons: AF little little short fast Opinion: Would it have been too much to ask Canon for a 35 RF 1.8 USM? Because let's be clear, if you come from more high-performance fixtures especially with USM engines you see the difference. And I'm talking about photo usage, I don't make videos. All in all after a while you get used to it but for 500 euros they could do better. Used on Eos R make a nice couple especially for reportage among people or to shoot in the street. |
sent on March 20, 2020 Pros: compact - cheap - macro function Cons: AF not quite lightning for me Opinion: If it is true that I am a troublemaker it is also true that if used as normal the AF works well not like the nano-usm but okay, the problems come when you switch to the macro function that some problem at least on my model gives it in finding the point of fire. Otherwise nothing to say, perfect. Surrender does not disappoint is a must have |
sent on January 24, 2020 Pros: 300 grams - Stabilized - Electronic dive for function control Cons: for now none (perhaps the STM) Opinion: Purchased to accompany the Eos R, it is practical, modest in size and very light. It may not have the quality of the most ephaly, but there is one aspect not to be underestimated Switching from a 6D Mark II - 24 70 to an Eos R - 35mm means reducing the footprint and weight by 60%. The focus system is not ultrasonic but it is not a grinder like the old STM, I would say it is also quite fast as well as silent. The electronic dial is 100% customizable as diaphragm or ISO adjustment or exposure compensation, Shooting time etc. The function, common to all RF is extremely convenient. |
sent on June 23, 2019 Pros: Small, compact, cheap, precise, solid. Cons: Lack of standard lampshade Opinion: I come from EF 35 f/1,4 mk2, so from a lens with a capital L but I was really excited about this RF. First of all, being an optic designed for the R system obviously does not need adapters and therefore has reduced the footprint a lot. The sharpness is superb; The blurry is superior to the old 35 EF f/2 but naturally slightly more nervous than the L series. The programmable die is really comfortable... I have set up the ISO adjustment which makes me everything faster for a precise exposure. Programmable ghiera, stabilizer, contained footprints and high-quality materials together with an uncompromising assembly... all qualities that SECOND ME make paradoxically cheaper than its predecessors. I used 1Dx2 and switched to R for clutter and comfort; the transition from EF to RF was almost forced... and I don't regret it. Ps: the transparency of the lens with respect to the L series however you notice... I would say that it remains a 2/3 stop more underexposed with equal settings. I would like to answer who, in the review, points out the lack of the dial of distances: the system RF - ML LE DISTANZE shows them directly on display. |
sent on June 08, 2019 Pros: Compact, light, multipurpose, crisp and relatively economical Cons: I can't find Opinion: He is an excellent companion of adventures when you want to go around "light" tackles every kind of photographic with ease and simplicity, restoring qualitative results high and uncompromising. Even in backlight it is good, and while not a real macro allows very close shots that cover the most common needs. When the bag already contains a complete kit, it is still convenient to stow this little chap, which in more than one case, especially in low ambient light, has been preferred to blazoned Zoom series L... |
sent on March 14, 2019 Pros: Lightness, AF, macro, compactness, noiselessness, programmable ring nut, stabilizing Cons: Lack of references on the barrel Opinion: Bought in well-known physical store and mounted asap on my RP, typical Canon colors and very pleasant bokeh. The autofocus is extremely silent and coupled to the RP forms a really balanced pair like a Japanese katana. Needless to stand to decage the characteristics of a 35mm, since already basic does not disdain any "field": From street to landscapes, from photojournalism to portraits set, but the macro mode (minimum distance 17cm) on this optic extends even more the Potential. It's not weather sealed it's true, but I use some non-tropicalized Canon optics for years, in the most disparate (and desperate) weather conditions (salt water on moher, blizzards, etc...) and I have never encountered any kind of problem until now (doing all the Possible avoids:D). Moreover, the front lens is really "small" considering the brightness, so it remains discreet and above all less prone to bumps and scratches (on the other hand the rear lens is gigantic), the value of the new Mount RF that I think will give a lot of satisfaction. Ok, finish the praises is the moment of criticism: Why in Canon have stopped marking the metric references on barrels? They are very useful! Especially in a room like the RP that doesn't have a small screen on top that reports the summary of the settings. I want the metric scale back! It's also nice to see if we want to... |
sent on January 14, 2019 Pros: lightness, brightness from fixed, macro, noiselessness, compactness Cons: Non-tropicalized (at least rubber ring) Opinion: Bought on Amazon, tried in the first instance, behaves very well, does not mistake a shot and is extremely silent; Imperceptible stabilizer, blurred pleasing though at 35 may not have an effect like a medium tele. The macro mode is amazing, you really can get close to the subject and the focus is always accurate even if for convenience I prefer to work in manual since the R has the focus peaking. Even at the video level it behaves stupendously. You know, the focal 35 mm is the most used for street and combined with this body portability is the mistress! Too bad not to be weather sealed, but sure sure will create a L series in some time! |
