disappointing considering the hype around this lens, have ordered the Sigma 18-35 instead
SheltonShame, it's a nice lens but is rather slow in low light, missed a beautiful image opportunity or two. Nether the less a great price and a useful addition to my gadget bag.
Bernie PallettBuild quality excellent, and image quality good when focus is accurate. But I found af on my 650d hit and miss which was more obvious at f2. I got the lens for the higher image quality than my 15-85, 35mm seems a good focal length appropriate to what I generally use. On image quality I thinks it's good but not outstanding especially given it's price. But the poor af especially worse in low light made me return the lens (after trying 2 copies).
notthisoneLens arrived on time but it came without a Canon pouch which was strange and overall disappointing for the money paid.
Donal Mc CannA natural wide-angle viewOffering 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 shootingShoot 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 apertureShooting 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 autofocusEnjoy fast, near-silent autofocus thanks to a ring-type ultrasonic AF motor. Stay in control with full-time manual focus override.Sophisticated optical designAn 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.Compact designSmall enough to always warrant a place in your bag, the EF 35mm f/2 IS USM is perfect for reportage and street photography.
