Every photographer should have a lens with a 35mm focal length in their camera bag. These lenses are just wide enough to take street photos without being bothered by distortions at the edge of your photo. In addition, you can also make exciting portraits with it and you can also photograph beautiful landscapes when you are traveling. In short, a real all-rounder. And this Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM even more so. It can also take macro photos.
Diaphragm With this 35mm lens I am prepared for anything. If I take an evening walk during a city trip, then I don't have to worry about the light with an aperture of f/1.8. Aperture open and shoot. The result is nice and cinematic with such a small depth of field. Just the way I want it. Speaking of movies. Thanks to the silent STM autofocus motor, I am not bothered by disturbing noises while filming.
Macro Then remember that you can take very cool macro photos with this lens. Not super close to the subject of macros, but photos with a bit more context. This is due to the minimum focus distance of 17 centimeters. It ensures that I can get close to my subject, but there is still enough background visible. Personally, I like a bit more environment on my macro photos. Be careful when photographing drops on rainy days. This lens is not resistant to rain.
Image stabilization For a well-exposed macro photo I need a lot of light. I can open the aperture to let a good amount of light fall on the sensor, but then the depth of field becomes very small. I prefer to shoot at f/5.6 without having to set the ISO very high. And with this lens you can. Thanks to the built-in image stabilization, I can even shoot by hand with a slow shutter speed of 1/10 sec without blurry results.
