    This lens is one of the most complete lens ever! Great for travel, macro, nice bokeh, super portable, small and surprisingly cheap to be a new RF lens! Love it combined with my eos RP!

    I’m an RP owner still not able to decide on my first RF lens. Do I go for the 35 or hold out/save up another third more UK pennies for the 24-105 F4. I suppose it depends on whether the majority of my photos using EF lenses are around the 35mm?

  • @mistaspeedy
    @mistaspeedy 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's a nice little lens, which I bought and tried for a short while, but I ended up selling it. The main reason for selling is the corner sharpness at landscape apertures such as F8 or F11 is no better than the other RF lens I have, the RF 24-105 F4. I expect a prime lens to be sharper than a zoom.

  • @stargator4945
    @stargator4945 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I lent this lens and have a RF85f2, for studio work the RF35 is quite good, but for dynamic work, the STM motor is driving me nuts as it delays the right moment action photo. I always miss the right moment. The EF lens was faster and the picture quality at f2 and f2.8 was a bit better, so the RF lenses seem to have some variations here. I don't need macro as I like the 85mm for that purpose more. Also I got the EF version cheaper (new) or much cheaper (used). If you need more bokeh, either the 35mm Tamron 1.4 or Canon 1.4mkII adapted are fast and pleasant (even when the Tamron is cheaper, the quality is the same (lens variations aside). However adapted lenses do not handle as well as native lenses on R-bodies (we have now 4) especially if they are large and heavy. the 35f2 seems to handle still well.

    I own the EF one and it is absolutely fantastic! My night time photography choice! BC due to its wider angle and IS it actually overpowers my 50mm 1.4 (the fastest lens I own) in exposure... But in order to compare the subjects fairly... We should *invent RF-to-EF adapter and try the RF on FF DSLR* =) BC, as we know, e.g. EF lenses are sometimes worse on cropped bodies than on FF, so... there's a possibility of smth like that between EF and RF.

The fact that this is missing is just ridiculous in my eyes. Always doing their own thing, and not looking at the user and competitors. And this is coming from a Canon user.
