Wonderful compact macro lens The Canon EF-s 35mm f/2.8 Macro IS STM is optimized for macro photography and only fits Canon APS-C cameras like the EOS 80D and Rebel series. Here are my thoughts on this lens after a couple weeks of use:The reason to buy this lens over the excellent EF 40 2.8 STM or EF 35 3.0 is for the macro mode. Being able to quickly take a tight closeup of a tiny flower, coin or insect is great. However, realize at 1:1 the front element is only about one inch from the subject. Thatâs okay for inanimate objects but not wee moving critters. Also, a one inch working distance blocks most ambient light, so the integral LED ring light is essential. The LED light, activated with a button on the barrel, is handy albeit only bright enough for a macro subject a few inches from the lens. Youâll still need stronger external illumination once beyond the high magnification macro range.BUILD: Although lightweightâ190gâconstruction seems reasonably robust: sturdy plastics in barrel and…
Incredible lens. Easily the best value prime lens for crop sensors. Incredible. Macro shots are near microscopic, the LEDs provide enough light on their own out to about 6â or so for fast sharp macros at 2.8.This may be classified as a macro, but it does an incredible job at portraits, with great bokeh.I use this as my main video lens. The focus is absolutely silent. I mean it, no discernable vibration, no sound at all. You wouldnât know it was focusing unless you were watching the viewfinder.I have yet to find any flaws with this lens whatsoever. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Canon knocked it out of the park and into low earth orbit wit this lens.
Just do it, you wonât regret it!!! I am in love with these Lens, i was originally going to buy a $20 macro attachment from amazon but instead i took a leap and just bought these lens and they are amazing. I have a canon t3i and itâs just such a versatile lens. Good for up close, portraits and landscapes. None of these pictures have been messed with except for the picture with the bridge, i saturated that one a bit. Itâs easy to use, quiet, and so light. Good material and the light is a really cool feature. Iâm just in love and donât regret spending $300 i didnât have ð
