Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens

Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens
Compact Wide-Angle Prime & 1:2 Macro – Fully Functional / Well-Used Exterior Scuffs
The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM is an exceptionally versatile, pocketable street and close-up prime lens custom-engineered for full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras. Perfectly blending a natural wide-angle perspective with specialized 1:2 half-life-size macro capabilities, this nimble lens is a favorite for environmental portraiture, travel documentation, food photography, and daily vlogging.

Boasting an ultra-bright f/1.8 aperture, it excels at isolating subjects with a shallow depth of field while soaking up low ambient light. Outfitted with a 5-stop Optical Image Stabilizer, a customizable Lens Control Ring, and a fluid STM stepping autofocus motor, it functions as a highly capable tool for high-resolution stills and stable handheld video. This package includes both the front and rear lens caps.

Please note: This lens is in fully operational condition. The external polycarbonate housing exhibits extensive cosmetic scuffs and surface wear from heavy handling, but the optics are crisp and all tracking features function flawlessly.

Key Features & Adaptive Optical Systems
Natural 35mm Perspective: Captures an immersive wide field of view on full-frame RF camera bodies, or converts into a versatile 56mm standard focal length when mounted to crop-sensor APS-C Canon EOS R mirrorless setups.

1:2 Macro Reproduction: True close-up macro design permits a half-life-size maximum magnification scale paired with an intimate 6.7-inch minimum focusing distance, ideal for revealing intricate textures and fine details.

Bright f/1.8 Aperture Performance: The wide f/1.8 opening supplies excellent light gathering for handheld available-light photography and works with a rounded 9-blade diaphragm to yield smooth, creamy out-of-focus background bokeh.

5-Stop Optical Image Stabilization: Built-in mechanical image stabilization counteracts handheld camera shake by up to five shutter stops, ensuring sharp still captures and steady video footage when working without a tripod.

Near-Silent STM Stepping Motor: Driven by a rapid gear-type STM stepping focus drive that achieves smooth, fluid, and near-silent autofocus tracking—making it highly reliable for cinematic video focus pulls. Supports full-time manual focus override.

Configurable Lens Control Ring: Features Canon’s tactile control ring on the front barrel, which can be custom-assigned to adjust exposure variables like ISO, aperture selection, or exposure compensation on the fly.

Super Spectra Coatings: Individual lens elements are treated with Super Spectra multi-layer coatings to aggressively suppress internal ghosting and lens flare, maintaining accurate color neutrality and high contrast.

Item Condition & Diagnostic Notes
Functional & Mechanical Performance: FULLY OPERATIONAL. This lens has been thoroughly tested and performs all electronic and mechanical actions beautifully. The STM autofocus tracks fluidly, the image stabilization mechanism engages instantly, the Control Ring turns precisely, and metadata communication with the camera body is perfectly stable.

Optical Path State: The front and rear glass elements are clean and in excellent shape, completely free of scratches, fungus, haze, or separation.

Cosmetic Presentation: This unit is in heavily used cosmetic shape. The exterior matte-black polycarbonate housing shows extensive surface scuffs, rubbing marks, and cosmetic scratches across the lens barrel from regular field use. These markings are strictly superficial and do not affect the physical durability or inner mechanical tracking of the lens.

Included Accessories: Includes the front lens cap and rear lens cap. (Please note: Canon does not package a dedicated lens hood with this model natively, and none is included).
