A natural wide-angle view

Offering a natural perspective and a wider angle of view, the EF 35mm f/2 IS USM is a good alternative standard lens to a traditional 50mm optic when used on a full-frame DSLR. On EOS cameras with APS-C sized sensors it gives an angle of view similar to a 56mm lens.

Image stabilisation for low-light shooting

Shoot hand held in low-light conditions using shutter speeds that are up to four stops slower than usually recommended. Image Stabilizer (IS) technology detects automatically when a photographer is panning to follow moving objects and switches off stablisation in this direction.

Large f/2 maximum aperture

Shooting with apertures as wide as f/2 enables photographers to work with shallow depth of field. Enjoy a bright viewfinder image and use relatively fast shutter speeds even in dim conditions.

Advanced autofocus

Enjoy fast, near-silent autofocus thanks to a ring-type ultrasonic AF motor. Stay in control with full-time manual focus override.

Sophisticated optical design

An aspherical lens element maximises image quality while a eight-bladed aperture diaphragm delivers smooth, out-of-focus bokeh. The EF 35mm f/2 IS USM focuses down to 0.24m, letting you get close to your subjects.

Comparing the lists of pros and cons of the Canon EF 35 mm f/2 IS USM and of the Canon EF 28 mm f/2.8 IS USM you can find out they are identical. It might indicate that the constructors of both devices have been guided by similar strategy.

The Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM is a capable but rather pricey wide-angle prime that will appeal most to travel and reportage photographers looking for a lightweight and responsive lens.

With the arrival of the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM Lens, the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens and Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens now have another sibling - a big brother. Even before I had a 35 f/2 IS in my hands, I felt like I already knew this lens well as it shares design with these...

If you're shooting movies and are looking at the 35mm focal length, the lens is a no-brainer; integrated image stabilization comes in very handy. If stills are more your thing, it's a noticeable improvement over the original Canon 35mm ƒ/2 USM, but whether it's worth twice the price is perhaps in...

Handling and features This wide angle prime lens from Canon sports a fast maximum aperture of f/2, an ultrasonic focus motor and image stabilisation. This lens is currently available for around £765, which seems a little steep.

For street photography, this lens packs some useful features into a modestly sized build...

The Canon EF 35mm f/2 USM IS already impressed us in our full format review and it continues to do so in the APS-C scope. The center performance is very good at max. aperture and excellent to downright superb at medium aperture settings. The borders quality is also very high.

Once more Canon delivered a a high performance lens with only a few weaknesses. The center performance is very good at max. aperture and excellent to downright superb at medium aperture settings. The borders are somewhat low in contrast at f/2 but very sharp when stopped down a bit.

This is a great lens. Very detailed rendition even full open, very light to carry which was exactly what I wanted after hauling around weighty zoom lens. My only criticism would be that it could do with a touch more contrast in comparison to my 24-35 f2.8.

The 35mm lens is very sharp and with f2 it is great in low light situations - if you can't afford an L lens, then go for this. It gives constant results - no flare - or colour cast, just brilliant results every time. Lightweight just right for carrying around- Perfect for taking Street photography.

Nice lens as long as aware not perfect sometimes at f/2 on full frame

Bought this lens as part of my EOS RP purchase, and I have found no issues with the lens at all. Features are what I would expect of this level of lens and usual Canon quality.

I use this lens on a 6D body. It's a great partner when used in conjunction with an OCE-3 and Canon flash as you can easily handhold the camera, freeing your other hand to hold the flash. This is the only non-L EF lens that I own and overall I'm impressed with the image quality.

Very good build quality for this class, excelent IQ

Good fast lens ideal for landscapes and my general photography. It has not been off my camera since it arrived.

Overall I'm loving this lens for street photography. It's very light, fast and doesn't stand out too much. I've tried shooting in very low light, wide open and with exposure times of around 20/sec and the results are quite good. Step it down a little to around f/4 and it's very sharp.
