Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM Lens
Versatile Wide Prime with Macro and Stabilization at MojoComputers
The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM lens, available at MojoComputers, offers an outstanding balance of compactness, sharp optics, wide aperture, and macro capabilities. Designed for Canon’s full-frame RF mirrorless cameras, this lens is ideal for everyday photography, creative close-ups, landscape, street scenes, and low-light shooting.
Bright f/1.8 Aperture for Low Light and Depth Control
At a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions, allowing photographers to shoot with slower shutter speeds or lower ISO while retaining image quality. The large aperture also facilitates shallow depth of field, rendering subjects with beautiful background blur that enhances portraits and artistic compositions.
Impressive Macro Capability with 0.5x Magnification
The lens doubles as a partial macro, with a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.5x (half life-size) and a close minimum focusing distance of approximately 6.7 inches (17 cm). This allows intimate close-ups of plants, small objects, texture details, or food with high sharpness and minimal distortion, adding versatility to the normal wide-angle prime use.
Optical Image Stabilizer with 5 Stops Compensation
Canon’s built-in Optical Image Stabilizer offers up to 5 stops of shake reduction, which is notable for a prime lens of this size and focal length. This synergy between image stabilization and the fast aperture means handheld shooting is more confident and precise, whether capturing still photos or videos.
Quiet STM Autofocus for Smooth Operation
The lens is equipped with a Stepper Motor (STM) autofocus system delivering relatively silent, smooth, and accurate focusing. This is ideal for both still photography and on-camera video work, with full-time manual focus available for fine-tuning.
Compact, Lightweight Design with Control Ring
Lightweight at approximately 305 grams and measuring 74.4 mm x 62.8 mm, the lens is pocketable and easy to carry for long shoots or travel. An integrated customizable Control Ring allows tactile on-the-fly adjustments of aperture, ISO, shutter speed, or exposure compensation, providing greater shooting control especially when using the electronic viewfinder.
Advanced Lens Coatings and Aperture Design
The lens features Canon’s Super Spectra Coating to reduce flare and ghosting for enhanced contrast and color accuracy, especially in challenging lighting or backlit conditions. A nine-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to smooth and natural bokeh quality.
