The Canon RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM is the the least expensive Canon RF-mount lens at the moment, so it makes a logical pairing with the Canon EOS RP – lowest point of entry into a mirrorless full frame camera. The Canon RF 35mm F1.8 Macro combines a very useful focal length with a fairly large aperture (F1.8), Image Stabilization (IS), and a 1:2 reproduction ratio (0.50x magnification). This isn’t a full 1:1 Macro lens, but has enough macro ability for most people in most situations. It is reasonably compact and light, very sharp, and generally a very flexible lens. But is it the lens for you? You can can check out some photos from the lens down below and also stay tuned for my review coverage of the lens. You can get a good start by checking out my review of the Canon EOS RP, as the RF 35mm F1.8 was the primary lens I used in that review.
