My new normal!

An excellent normal lens for the Rebel T8i. Light and fast. Perfect, like a 45mm in full frame. Best normal focal length for Canon APS-C cameras.

Cannon 35 mm f2

This is a sharp lens. Having owned several l lenses which are superb I was pleasantly surprised at the build quality. I also like the fact it is easy on the shoulders.Don’t buy the pro optic hood .You won’t be able to put on the original lens cap. I had to pay extra to buy the hood.

Clear upgrade

Outperforms the previous 35mm f/2 handily, especially in the corners. Handles very well, build quality is very good.

Wonderful Lens

I've been using this lens for several years now on various full frame cameras. It's a pleasure to use. It's very light, very sharp AND the IS really works. Great color and contrast, too.

Canon 35mm F2 IS

Excellent for photography. Love it. Beautiful lens with a wide aperture, and the focal length is unique. I haven’t used a 35mm lens before but will certainly be doing so more going forward. What this lens isn’t great for is video, at least if you want noiseless autofocus. The lens makes a lot of (undesired sound if you are using Canon’s dual pixel video autofocus. Still, glad I got the lens. Portable and lightweight. Very nice that it has image stabilization.

Great for learning / teaching photography

Classic lens for portraits and landscape, really anything! So many options for the f-stop, nice big apertures too! Makes the focusing difficult though if you are not experienced, but therefore makes it a great lens for beginners learning the basics and the techniques of still life and portrait photography!

Perfect travel lens

This is a great lens! I take it and my 24-105 and my FF camera as my travel kit. I usually use the 24-105 during the day and use this lens at night. It really is an impressive lens...and if your subject is not moving, with its 4 stops of IS, you can get clear shots at lower ISO than with the 35 f/1.4---which is a very heavy lens that I would not want to travel with. It really is a great lens...for me. At its current price point I think it is a steal.

After watching several reviews online I bought this lens for my 6d mark ii and ronin s to make videos with. I am so glad i do. I love everything about it so far, colors, focus speed, noise, everything.....

Sharp, Light Wide(ish Lens with IS

It arrived as if it was a new lens. Glass was clean. It is nice at F/2, but gets nice and really sharp stopped down to around F/2.5~2.8. It is light weight, and the IS works well, but with does make a modest amount of sound with IS on. Great on my APS-C 80D.

I have a 24 mm EF-S and a nifty fifty and this lens blows them both away. It’s very sharp and the colors are great.

Wonderful lens

I was very surprised at how sharp this lens is. It’s definitely something I’m glad to add to my camera bag. It creates beautiful bokeh & i noticed that even when I push the ISO a bit more, the grain is minimal which is not the case with any of my other lenses (70-200mm f2.8 & 50mm f1.8

A great piece of glass

I picked up this lens about 2 weeks ago to use on my 6D. Sharp as can be, excellent color rendition. One note using it wide open at f2.0 the lens produces a lot of vignetting on the corners, it completely goes away at f4.0. Using it wide open is not an issue because it can be easily removed in post production.

Soft edges

I love the focal length of this lens on my Canon 6D. Much more than my 50mm 1.4, however this lens is much softer around the edges, I'm not a pro but Ive used my camera for over a decade and from the lenses I've shot with this is the most soft and adds bokeh when you don't necessarilly want it. Overall for the price its a great lens and the IS is awesome and much quieter than my 100mm macro and 24-105 Mark I lens. Ill continue to shoot with the lens to learn its quirks but overall I just wish it was a little bit sharper through its range.

Outstanding Features

By di S.

Since I am a professional photographer, I must be able to count on my lenses to produce excellent images under wide-ranging conditions. Outstanding optics, robust and durable build quality are givens for me. This particular lens, however, has a couple feature which make it the best 35mm available for my work. Having such a wide aperture (f/2.0) allows me to shoot many events without flash! That can be big to my clients. Also, having IS at this (kinda-wide) focal length gives me distinct advan...

Finally!

By Lurcus

That's the lens I've been waiting for, for so many years! A 35mm fast lens, with a very good build and optical quality, with an efficient stabilizer and a fast, nearly silent AF. A dream came true. After a few weeks with this lens, I immediately sold my 35/1,4 L. Image quality is at the same level, but now I have a stabilizer and faster AF. Obviously I lost the f/1,4 and I have more vignetting until f/4, but... I can deal with that. Downsides? - Strong vignetting until f/3.5 (still visible af...

Canon Optical Image Stabilizer system delivers the equivalent effect of 4 stops and can detect normal shooting or panning, and automatically switches to the optimal IS mode. Compact and lightweight, the EF 35mm f/2 IS USM has an 8-blade circular aperture diaphragm for soft backgrounds, a minimum focusing distance of 0.79 ft./0.24m, plus optimized lens coatings for minimized ghosting and flare.
