Questions & Answers

SUSAN L : Will this lens work on my Canon 5d Mark IV?BRUCE S : No, it is made for Canon's crop-sensor cameras No EF-S lens should be used on a camera with an EF mount. Using an EF-S lens on a full-frame camera body will damage the mirror. The Canon EOS 5D IV is a full-frame camera that has an EF mount.MICHAEL S : This lens was designed and built for the cropped sensor Canon cameras like the 70D or 80D. Having said that, I've used it on a Canon R which is a full sensor camera. It will work on your 5D Mark IV but I don't know what field of vision you will get.JAE THOMAS S : It will, they are both EF-S mount!LARY M : I believe it will. It works on my Canon 5d mark I I
Shopper : is this lens compatible to attach a ring flash on it for dental pics?JOYCE S : Yes, the lens is compatible to attach a ring flash if you have a 49mm adapter for the ring flash. The adapter will attach to the lens hood that came with the lens, and then the hood to the lens. Mounting the hood blocks the built in macro lites of the lens, so be sure to turn them off.Jon B : The front filter lens hood ring is 49mm so it would take a ring flash with a 49mm adapter. However if you want forensic style images the Canon 35 mm macro is a very wide lens ( you have to get very close) for that type of work. I suggest you look at a Canon 60mm macro so your flash ring does not touch or rest on your patient.TEDRA T : It has a ring light on it already. I don’t know if that would be adequate for what you need or not.DAVID H : The built in ring light works well with it's high/low settingsWilliam W : Consider this a lucky day. I'm on the road and took ALL of my gear with me. The Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX is perfectly compatible with the Canon EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro IS STM Lens. There is an adapter ring on the ring lite that you remove by squeezing two retainers. The macro lens just pops right in.
Ashley K : Will this work with my Canon T6?LARY M : I am not sure, but I think it will work on a T6. It Works on my T3, T5I, and my 5D Mark ll.ALEXANDER F : yep, it's a great match for the rebel cameras!S.L. R : I believe the T6 takes the EF / EF-S mount type lenses, but check your owners manual. If your manual says only EF-M then this one won't work well. Have fun exploring a new world in macro photography.STEPHEN L : Yes it will- it's an ef-s.

In Love

I just received this lens yesterday and have taken a bunch with it so far. It is fantastic. The level of detail and vibrance of the photos are amazing. Well worth the price!

Low cost, versatile, and easy to use with really decent optics.

This is a somewhat unique lens for an ASP-C camera. 35mm (55mm equivalent on an ASP-C) it fills a gap I had for wanting something close to a 50mm lens. Not only does it very nice imaging, but also 1:1 macro capability too, along with a rather unique and adequate macro light that is adjustable. I love macro photography and though I have Canon's 100mm "L" lens, this little 35mm just works very nicely for those really close-up situations where I can't get light on the target without getting out the auxiliary lights, stands, or tripod supports. Now I can just press the lens button, and there's my tiny little subject all well illuminated.

Very happy customer

I took an interest in this lens a short time ago as I wanted a focal length that was pretty near 50mm on my Canon 80D cropped-sensor camera. Most of the retailers offer this at pretty much the same price, including Amazon, but you have to be very careful because only a few of them are actually Canon-authorized dealers. Adorama not only IS a authorized dealer, but also offered this very nice 'bundle' for a very competitive price. I've come to know that Adorama really is the best purchase option and their after sale assistance is second to none!

It’s Exactly What I Needed

I’m back to “real” photography only recently and am working up the learning curve. This lens does everything I hoped it would. The macro photo’s I’ve been taking are quite good. For now, this is the lens I’m carrying with me for catching detail and practicing settings. I like it a lot.

good product for the price

I am using this lens to photograph close-ups of my fly tying and I hope to photograph some stream side stone flies and caddises too. I believe the lens flash will help illuminate the subject. I plan to inter some of my photos in the contest here.

I've been waiting.. for a macro lens (not a girl) like you! (Foreigner fans will understand)

I always wanted to own a micro lens since I bought my Canon 7D back in 2012. This lens is great! It's small, affordable and the quality is excellent. I still don't know its full potential.. but I am excited to discover all the things its capable of. My macro journey starts with the Canon EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro IS STM Lens!

Canon 35mm Macro lens

I do like this Marco lens, sharp with a built-in ring light, image stabilization too. Lens is very light in weight. Could use a needed filter ring that can fit over the light without causing a shadow. I’m a big fan of UV filters as protection.

Excellent quality, limited use.

As usual this lens has excellent Canon quality. However, I exchanged it and paid a little more for the highly-rated EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM which gets you closer to the subject matter. The ring light is an interesting idea but probably would not be used unless you are shooting macro in very low light. The IS is a must.

Precise little lens does a good job on macro shots. I love the led lights on the end of the lens. They can significantly alter the same shot.

Five star preliminary review!

After using this lens for only a couple of weeks (100 + photos for wide-angle landscape, nature macro, and some portraits, it suits my less than super-critical eye. That is not to say a super-critical eye would not appreciate this lens. I'm impressed with the (56mm on crop sensor) for portraits, although I have to say that the Canon EF-S 24mm STM (essentially 38mm) may become my favorite.

Great lens for the money.

Very sharp at f8 and macro. Love the light, which you access by unscrewing the hood, not just by removing the lens cap. There is no other EF-S 35mm macro lens that Canon sells, so it has to have the light...the other reviewers just couldn't find it.

This lens shows another world in our own world.

By Amateur D.

I've had this lens for a couple of days, and I am amazed every time I use it! This lens opens up another universe in our own neighborhoods. Details of insects, spiders, and flowers is very sharp, with great color resolution. I don't know all the technical specifications of this lens; I'll leave that up to the professionals to write about. What I do know is that these images are superb. This is the first macro lens I've owned, and it's just as fun as I imagined. I cannot wait to see what...

Really Fun Lens!

By Jim M.

I'm still learning to use this lens, and I've never had a macro lens before, but this has been a really fun experience. I really like the F/2.8 aperture on this lens and it works well for portrait type photos as well as macro. The adjustable macro ring light is an awesome feature - two brightness settings, and you can light one side or the other, which comes in really handy - see coin pic. The lens does have an incredibly narrow depth of field up close and stopped down to F/2.8. As you ca...
