Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens

Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens
Fast Wide-Angle Prime with 1:2 Macro Capability for R-Series Mirrorless Cameras
The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM is a compact, ultra-versatile wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless camera bodies. Seamlessly blending a classic, storytelling 35mm focal length with specialized close-up capabilities, this unique lens functions as both an everyday street and landscape optic and a high-performance 1:2 macro lens.

Boasting a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, built-in 5-stop optical stabilization, and an ultra-portable footprint, it serves as the ultimate walkaround choice for travel photographers, videographers, food bloggers, and content creators.

Dual-Purpose Wide-Angle Perspective & 1:2 Macro Close-Focusing
Classic 35mm Field of View: Delivers a highly favored, natural wide-angle perspective that is excellent for environmental portraiture, street documentary, wedding coverage, and expansive landscape framing.

True 1:2 Half Life-Size Macro: Features an advanced close-focusing design capable of locking focus at a minimum distance of just 6.7 inches (17 cm) from the sensor plane. With a 0.5x maximum magnification, this lens allows you to capture intricate textures, fine details in food layouts, or close-up nature elements with stunning precision.

Bright f/1.8 Maximum Aperture: Exceptional low-light performance allows you to maintain fast shutter speeds and low ISO settings in dim indoor environments. It provides strong control over your depth of field, making it easy to pop your subject out against a beautifully blurred background.

Up to 5 Stops of Optical Image Stabilization & Premium Optics
5-Stop Optical Image Stabilizer: Integrated optical image stabilization counteracts handheld camera shake by up to five stops. This advanced stabilization makes handheld shooting effortless at slower shutter speeds, ensuring tack-sharp stills and smooth video tracking without requiring a tripod.

Super Spectra Flare Suppression: Optical elements are treated with Canon’s Super Spectra Coating to eliminate surface reflections, internal ghosting, and lens flare. This advanced barrier preserves deep black levels, high image contrast, and accurate color neutrality—even when framing directly toward harsh backlighting.

Rounded Nine-Blade Diaphragm: Outfitted with a 9-blade circular aperture array that yields an incredibly soft, smooth out-of-focus bokeh quality, rendering background highlights into perfectly rounded shapes.

Quiet STM Autofocus & Customizable Control Ring
Smooth, Silent STM Stepping Motor: Driven by a gear-type STM stepping motor that provides rapid, highly accurate focus acquisition for still shooting. It delivers quiet, fluid focus pulls during video recording to prevent operational motor noise from bleeding into your microphone audio tracks.

Full-Time Manual Focus Override: Supports full-time manual focus override capabilities, letting you make instant manual adjustments on the fly while in autofocus mode without needing to flip a physical switch.

Configurable Lens Control Ring: Built with a tactile, clicking Control Ring on the barrel that can be custom programmed via the camera menu. It allows you to adjust critical exposure variables—such as direct manual control over ISO sensitivity, aperture values, or exposure compensation—directly from the lens itself.
