RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM
Compact, lightweight, and close-focusing, the RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM from Canon is a unique wide-angle prime mixing the versatility of a general wide lens with the specialty of a 1:2 macro optic. An advanced optical design is benefitted by a Super Spectra coating, which helps to control flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color accuracy when working in bright or backlit conditions. Capable of focusing down to 6.7" at half life-size, this lens is ideal for photographing everything from close-ups of plants to street scenes and landscapes. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture offers increased control over depth of field and also suits working in a variety of lighting conditions. Complementing this is a five stop-effective image stabilization, which minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Also, an STM motor affords impressively quiet and smooth autofocus performance and full-time manual focus override. Additionally, a configurable Control Ring lets you adjust exposure settings, including ISO, aperture, and exposure compensation, from the lens itself.
Wide-angle prime is designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras.
Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field.
Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
An Optical Image Stabilizer helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to five stops to better enable working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
Macro design benefits working with close-up subjects and provides a 1:2 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 6.7"
STM stepping motor offers fast, quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance that is ideal for video recording as well as still shooting.
Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

Almost perfect
This lens is a fantastic deal for the price. IS + macro + RF + compact size + f/1.8 + great image quality. You can't really beat that. The con? As some have already mentioned, the auto focus. There isn't an option to limit focal range, so in low light, it will hunt for focus all over the place. When I switch to manual to reel it back in, it takes so long and so many rotations of my wrist to get it back. I've missed some crucial shots doing that (this is in video or continuous focus). I really hope Canon offers a firmware update that fixes this or somehow allows you to electronically limit the focal range because it is hard for me to trust a lens that does that. But besides that, it's everything you might imagine.

Essential compact low light lens
Paired with the RP camera, this lens makes for a very small and light kit you can take anywhere. As a matter of fact, this lens on the RP just feels perfect in hand. My experience with the lens is that it's very quick to focus and very accurate in locking onto subjects. The macro is very, very handy, especially when combined with focus stacking. Image stabilization combined with 1.8 aperture makes this a fantastic low-light lens. I've used this as a walk-around lens as well for weddings, and it's been wonderful for its ease of use and results.

Can not focus at infinity
I am a faithful user of Canon for 4 decades. I love the R system. I wanted to buy this lens. I tried two RF 35mm samples on my R shooting at f1.8 and found both could not focus correctly far at 150 feet away building (‘infinity’), sharp only at 30 feet. With identical condition, the EF 35mm f1.4 L mk2 was so sharp corner to corner at wide open.

Best RF Lens for price!
I bought this a month ago. It’s amazing for the price, I promise you won’t regret. The macro feature was a big selling point for me.

Small, fast, stabilized, amazing image quality
I own both the EF35/1.5L and the RF35/1.8. Even in very low light situations, the IS more than makes up for the ⅔ stop lower aperture. The balance on the R is perfect. Carry all day for street photography. The EF35f1.4L feel great on the other EOS bodies. I feel that 1.8 is a great aperture, especially with IS. Autofocus is just instant. Image Quality: the resolving power amazes me. Somehow the bokeh is as amazing as the EF35/1.4! Even when “pixel peeping”, this lens matches the 1.4L -PLUS- the R will zoom in when manually touching up the focus. I hold the lens in my left hand with index finger on control ring for exposure compensation while I zoom in for focus perfection. Only complaint: the lens hood and bag should be included!

Love this Lens!
I have been waiting for this lens since it was announced. It finally came a little before it's rumored release. The lens is fast, sharp, and light weight. I guess the first reviewer got a bad copy? Very happy with it so far.
