Unlike Canon's USM, the STM is also not noiseless but emits a high-pitched sound during AF operations. On the EOS R, the AF speed is Ok but we won't describe it as quick. The Canon lens uses a stepping motor (STM) for auto-focusing. It's probably not worth it because it's tiny really. The lens hood is an optional accessory that will set you short by another 50USD/EUR. Weather-sealing is not provided - probably a cost-cutting measure. Typical for most Canon RF lenses, it features an additional control ring that can be configured to serve various functions. The inner lens tube moves slightly with the longest extension, about 2cm, at the minimum focus distance. The build quality is pretty good albeit the use of plastics is quite obvious. So is it the steal that it appears to be?

However, it is also very fast, and provides macro capabilities down to an object magnification of 1:2 plus image stabilization. Of course, a low price tag alone doesn't cut it yet. You may argue that it is not among the most exciting lenses out there but it has a rare quality in today's mirrorless world - it is affordable at around 500USD/550EUR and we have even seen special sales quite a bit below that. The Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 STM IS macro was one of the first RF-mount lenses released back in 2018. Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.Review by Klaus Schroiff, published December 2019 Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation. 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.
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. 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.
Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field. Wide-angle prime is designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras. Additionally, a configurable Control Ring lets you adjust exposure settings, including ISO, aperture, and exposure compensation, from the lens itself.

Also, an STM motor affords impressively quiet and smooth autofocus performance and full-time manual focus override. Complementing this is a five stop-effective image stabilization, which minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture offers increased control over depth of field and also suits working in a variety of lighting 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.
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. 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.
