Product Description
The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM is a versatile, lightweight prime designed for Canon RF full-frame mirrorless cameras. It combines a bright f/1.8 aperture with close-focusing macro capabilities (up to 1:2 magnification), making it an excellent one-lens solution for everyday shooting — from environmental portraits and street photography to detailed close-ups and product shots.
With Canon’s optical Image Stabilization and a quiet STM autofocus motor, this lens supports stable handheld shooting and smooth focusing for video. Its compact form and high optical performance make it an ideal walk-around lens for travel, content creation, and creators who need both normal-angle and close-up functionality in a single lens.
