Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens

Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens
Ultra-Versatile Wide-Angle Prime with 1:2 Macro and Hybrid Stabilization
The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM is an exceptionally compact, lightweight, and fast-focusing prime lens designed natively for Canon’s full-frame RF-mount mirrorless camera system. Blending the perspective of a classic 35mm street lens with the specialized close-up capabilities of a 1:2 macro optic, this lens serves as an incredibly adaptive tool for daily walkarounds, environmental portraits, travel landscapes, food photography, and high-resolution videography.

Featuring a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, a powerful 5-stop optical stabilizer, and a custom lens control ring, this lens delivers a compelling mixture of low-light agility and creative close-focusing freedom inside a highly portable, travel-friendly package.

Modestly Bright f/1.8 Aperture & Premium Multi-Coated Optics
Full-Frame RF-Mount Engineering: Designed specifically to leverage the short flange back and large mount diameter of Canon RF mirrorless bodies, ensuring edge-to-edge frame resolution and sharpness.

Bright f/1.8 Maximum Aperture: Striking an ideal balance between low-light capability and a portable profile, the bright f/1.8 opening provides excellent control over depth of field, allowing you to isolate subjects with a shallow focus look under ambient, dim indoor lighting.

Super Spectra Anti-Reflective Layer: Individual glass elements are treated with Canon’s specialized Super Spectra multi-coating. This advanced coating actively suppresses ghosting, surface reflections, and lens flare, maintaining rich color neutrality and high image contrast when shooting into harsh backlighting or direct sunlight.

Rounded Nine-Blade Diaphragm: Outfitted with a 9-blade circular aperture array that yields a smooth, circular, and incredibly pleasing background blur (bokeh), allowing out-of-focus specular highlights to blend into a soft, natural aesthetic.

Half Life-Size Macro Proximity & Hardware Image Stabilization
1:2 Macro Magnification Power: Optimized for close-up exploration, this unique prime lens achieves a half life-size 1:2 maximum reproduction ratio, making it an excellent platform for documenting fine textures, intricate jewelry, macro nature details, and culinary creations.

6.7-Inch Minimum Focusing Proximity: Capable of acquiring sharp lock-on focus down to a near 6.7 inches from the camera sensor plane, letting you step right up to immediate subjects while still maintaining a contextual, wide-angle background.

5-Stop Hardware Optical Image Stabilizer: Features an integrated hardware Optical Image Stabilizer that counteracts the blurry effects of handheld camera shake by up to five shutter speed stops. This stabilization assist allows operators to capture crisp, blur-free stills and steady video footage when working with slower handheld shutter speeds or inside dimly lit venues.

Near-Silent STM Drive & Customizable Control Ring
Smooth STM Stepping Autofocus Motor: Employs an internal STM stepping motor drive that delivers fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus tracking. This smooth operational behavior is highly optimized for video recording, ensuring focus transitions remain completely fluid without injecting disruptive mechanical noise into internal microphone feeds.

Full-Time Manual Focus Override: Supports full-time manual focus override capabilities, giving you the freedom to fine-tune your focus placement instantly simply by spinning the focus ring on the fly—without requiring you to switch out of an active autofocus profile.

Configurable Physical Control Ring: Incorporates Canon’s signature, programmable lens Control Ring near the front barrel. This tactile ring can be customized to adjust your choice of core exposure values directly from the lens itself, including manual aperture settings, ISO sensitivity increments, or exposure compensation values.
