Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM Lens, Black - 2973C002

لماذا تتعذار أنا احتاج إلي المال المنتج سي للغاية

I bought this lens used over Amazon at a savings of nearly $150 from the retail price. This is an excellent lens for a beginner on a budget like me trying to dig in and learn as much as I can about photography as quickly as I can (getting ready for the birth of my son preparing to take lots of pictures of him), while using the RF platform on the Canon EOS RP. Since the EOS RP lacks "in body image stabilization" (IBIS), this lens is a must have for someone just getting started with the RP or the R since it has image stabilization built in - that gives a needed advantage for low-light situations as well as handheld video recording. Considering how wide this focal length is (similar to the focal length of the main camera [*correction* - selfie camera] on an iPhone), it has an amazing level of bokeh - way beyond anything your phone's main camera could produce naturally. The fact that it can do macro photography as well is just fantastic, though you won't have the versatility you would have with a longer focal length like a 100mm macro lens (the Canon RF and EF mount 100mm macro lens is a beast, but at a price almost 3x that of this 35mm lens). The photo I included here of the lady bug was the best one I could take after taking multiple photos because the 35mm focal length requires getting very close to a subject you are trying to do macro photography work with. With something that is moving quickly but small, or which could get spooked by a shadow, a longer focal length would be better. This lens can be used for portraits, but in my experience the 50mm rf lens, even though it is not image stabilized, is a much better option. I started out just with the EOS RP and the 50mm RF lens, but realized very quickly that I needed a wider focal length, macro capability, and image stabilization. This lens delivers all of these features with excellence. That said, having it and using it also convinced me that I will need an 85mm eventually as well. I hope to eventually add the 85mm rf lens to my collection, which by my research would be even better for portraits, but the 35mm is still great if you're dealing with more than one person. For those debating on getting a kit lens versus a lens like this prime 35mm rf or the prime 50mm rf lens, I strongly suggest you go with a prime lens first - though you lose the option of a variable focal length in a single lens, you gain a wider maximum aperture (f/1.8), and in this case, macro capability. Having both of these features in your first or second lens makes a HUGE difference.The limitations you have with a single focal length forces you to become a better photographer (thinking about composition, staging, making you more willing to learn how to use manual photography features), and besides, with a camera like the EOS RP you can always crop in closer when you have 26 megapixels to work with. Years ago I had a Canon Rebel T7i with a kit lens and eventually sold it. I recently compared the photos I took with that setup versus the ones I have taken with the EOS RP and the RF 35mm lens, and there is no contest. The 35mm prime on the RP beats anything I took with that other setup with a prime lens every time.

Great lens. Good price

Achei ótimo fiquei com medo que não fosse original pesquisei bastante e aparamente tudo certo eu amo a minha

解像度はとても良いと思います。 ハーフマクロも便利です。

I’ve been looking into these lenses almost from the moment when I bought R6 II and as it is typical, when you squeeze all money on the body, the lens suffers. Especially when you buy the kit version, so you have something to work with. But when you buy a full frame camera you likely want it for low light conditions and you just get mediocre results with kit lenses. Amazon Warehouse Deals (used) So I was looking at other used markets as 699$ is not cheap in my books. I was reluctant to go to the FB market. And just in time, this listing from Amazon Warehouse deals popped up for 469$ in a “very good” condition stating that the box is damaged and it’s missing manual. I thought I had nothing to lose due to Amazon's great consumer protection. Plus I assumed if someone returned it, it’s likely within a 30-day window, significantly reducing risk when buying from unknown sources. However, despite those assumptions, my expectations were not super high. You could get anything. Then that moment came, I received lenses. Boy oh boy, I was blown away how lucky I was. I’d say I’ve got brand new, ok, mint condition if you will. Not a speck of dust or wear&tear signs on the lens body. I’ve done a flesh light optics test and while there is some internal dust visible (normal), it was way less than in my barely 3 months old brand new kit lenses. In short - impeccable condition. I’m super happy with the deal and condition. Also, I rarely buy used stuff, and I think overall this is the 2nd time ever, I bought from Amazon Warehouse deals, but I’m so delighted that I did! Even the box came in perfect condition, and I couldn't care less about the manual which was indeed missing. SPECS and PERFORMANCE Talking about specs, if you’re looking in this listing, you probably already know everything about these lenses, and detailed YT videos will go much deeper than what I can cover here. These 35 mm are recommended by many as a first prime “must have” lens. Reason is versatility as it can be used in various scenarios, from kinda macro photography (0.5x macro factor), portraits, street and all the way to landscape. Exactly what I needed. My primary goal is traveling, so street photography and landscapes. But I also do a lot of product reviews/photography and ever since I got them (2 weeks ago), I never put the kit lens back on camera. What blew me away is handheld shake tolerance. I’ve been shooting even for 1 second handheld in a dark room and a combo of R6 IBIS + lens IS worked very well and photos came up sharp. Compared to dark room conditions when using kit (24-105) lenses, I couldn't come nearly to exposure like with these. I haven't got many opportunities to go outdoors yet, and today was finally a sunny day, so you can see a few of my first-tested outdoors photos. Just to be clear, those were shot in cRAW and I “developed” them in LightRoom Classic. Other than today outdoors, I’ve shot 1000’s of product photos (focus bracketing adds up quickly) and I’m very happy with sharpness and overall colors, dynamic range, etc… AUTOFOCUS I’m a still photography guy, so videography is not my gem. If you do video, yes, the focus STM motor makes noise but in my opinion completely acceptable. Compared to my old DSLR camera, this is dead silent :-). However, for a videographer who has a mic on hot shoe, even that can be too noisy, as mic can pick it up. Also, in product photography I stumbled upon a similar issue like with kit lenses, if the product is glossy and evenly colored, focus will fail (red square). Solution, switch to manual focus, which is super easy on these lenses as there is a physical switch on barrel (unlike kit lens, where I have to go in the camera menu). The test with a contrasting subject like coin, passed successfully and AF got it immediately. Overall in normal conditions AF is really fast and effective. Besides buzzing noise, in certain focusing conditions I noticed repeated kicking / throttling sound. This is also normal. Since I got them used, I wanted to be absolutely sure this is ok, so I swung by Henry’s and guys over there confirmed it’s all good as they’re experts, and I’m not. Just sharing here in case you come across this and get concerned. PHOTO QUALITY As I already mentioned, these are very sharp and fast lenses. On F1.8 it’s possible to experience some distortion like chromatic aberration. Honestly, I didn’t see it (it also depends on the subject), but I watched a lot of reviews and saw some examples. If so, the recommendation is to shoot with F2.0 or above when all these disappear immediately. WEIGHT and DIMENSIONS One of the primary reasons why I bought these lenses is the minimalist size suitable for travel. I’ll be honest, when I was choosing the camera I went from the entry-level R10, wanted to wait for the new R7 II which still isn’t announced, and ended up grabbing a Christmas deal with R6 II. What shocked me was - weight. I exaggerated, no doubt. I could probably be totally fine with APS-C lighter and cheaper ecosystem but no, I wanted low-light. So now I’m paying a price to carry this weight wherever I go. Kit zoom lenses are bulky and heavy and I knew I’ll need some slimmer option for traveling / street photography and this is how I came up with 35 mm. This 35 mil lens fixes the weight problem considerably. It’s not a pancake like 24 or nifty-50, but IS (image stabilization) is not something I wanted to leave out (other 2 doesn’t have it). These lenses are still slim, and lighter than kit, and much more suitable for everyday photography. Also - important, 35 mm is the ideal focal length, most “natural” of it all. In conclusion, these are amazing lenses and I absolutely love them so far. Like I mentioned, I checked photos I took today, and again it was my first outdoor shooting with these lenses. Final verdict: 5 stars
