Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM Lens Bundle
This bundle centres on the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM lens, a compact wide-angle prime for Canon mirrorless cameras. It delivers 1:2 macro capability and a bright f/1.8 aperture for shallow depth of field. The kit adds a 64GB SanDisk SDXC card, filter set, backpack and accessories. It suits photographers wanting a versatile single lens for close-ups, street and landscape work.
Build Quality and Daily Handling
The lens uses an STM motor for quiet, smooth autofocus with full-time manual override. A configurable control ring adjusts ISO, aperture or exposure compensation directly from the barrel. Five-stop image stabilisation reduces camera shake during handheld shooting. The 52mm filter thread accepts the included three-piece filter kit. Super Spectra coating controls flare and ghosting in bright or backlit conditions.
Upgrade Path and When to Switch
This lens replaces a standard kit zoom with a faster, sharper prime that focuses down to 6.7 inches at half life-size. The jump is worth it when you need wider apertures for low light or creative depth control, plus genuine macro reach without a dedicated macro lens. It is not for shooters who require 1:1 reproduction, longer focal lengths or zoom flexibility for distant subjects.

Questions about this item
What mount does the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM use and what does that limit?
The lens uses Canon's RF mount, so it only fits EOS R-series mirrorless bodies and cannot be mounted on EF or EF-S cameras without an adapter.
What filter thread size does the lens have and what is included in the kit?
The front thread is 52mm and the bundle supplies a three-piece filter kit that matches that diameter.
How do you attach the lens to an EOS R camera and what step is often missed?
Align the red mounting index on the lens barrel with the red dot on the camera mount, rotate clockwise until it clicks, then remove the rear cap; many forget to take the rear cap off before shooting.
