Another important thing to note is that the end of the lens actually protrudes a bit as you change the focus. As a video shooter, I always prefer for my camera and lens to be as quiet as possible. This isn’t a huge deal, but it does bother me a bit. The one thing I don’t love is that the control clicks as you use it, and unfortunately, there is no way to turn that click off. Now, a lot of lenses aren’t offering stabilization anymore since the in body stabilization in cameras are improving, so this extra stabilization is a welcome feature.
#CANON 35MM 1.8 MANUAL#
One switch controls the internal lens stabilization and the other allows you to switch back and forth between auto focus and manual focus. Its programmability really pushes this lens to an even higher quality.įinally, the RF 35mm has two switches on its side. I’ve heard from other people who prefer to map that ring to adjust the aperture instead of the ISO.

I chose to map the second ring to control the ISO, allowing me to make exposure adjustments without needing to stop what I’m looking at and make adjustments on the camera itself. This is actually a really cool feature that I haven’t seen on many lenses. The second right though, is actually programmable and can be mapped to do a variety of things. The first ring is pretty standard and controls the camera’s focus. The 35mm comes with two rings, which is synonymous with the other RF lenses that I’ve had a chance to use. The build quality is solid, and it feels like a premium lens, even at a lower price point. The RF 35mm only costs $500, making it the least expensive lens in the RF lineup.

It’s also a macro lens, which means it can hold its focus while being very close to the subject. At 35mm, this prime lens is a great focal length to capture pretty much anything.
