I own this lens for 4 month now, and it's super shrp from f2. I use this for weddings - inside of ballroom to take super sharp images of guests. I highly recommend this superb lens.

super sharp; IS; build quality

none

very sharp. even sharper than sigma 35mm 1.4 lens. IS system is very useful for hand-on. A++

Once more Canon delivered a a high performance lens with only a few weaknesses. The center performance is very good at max. aperture and excellent to downright superb at medium aperture settings. The borders are somewhat low in contrast at f/2 but very sharp when stopped down a bit.

Works nicely!

I purchased this lens after debating a bit on whether to get the Sigma 35/1.4. Given all the uncertainty about focusing issues with the Siggy, as well as the stellar reviews for the Canon 35/2 IS, I chose the Canon. It has proved to be a very good decision for me.

Very fast; Very sharp; Great IS

Awesome lens, very good IQ

This lens is superb. Very much an overlooked hidden gem in the canon range. The lens is pin sharp across the apertures and image stabilisation too.. what's not to love.. if you're in two minds how this can be so cheap just grab it. You won't be disappointed

A perfect match for the 5D Mark iii, in that it's a versatile, genuine walkaround focal length and exactly the right build quality, weight and size to feel comfortable mounted on the camera. My first full frame lens and I suspect it will be a very hard act to follow.

Quiet, unobtrusive, well-balanced on 5D mk iii, extremely sharp, reliable & quick autofocus, effective stabilisation

Serious vignetting; but easily removable in post processing

The Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM ($599.99) is a lens that will appeal to owners of full-frame and APS-C SLRs alike. When paired with a camera like the EOS 6D , it covers a classic wide-angle field of view.

Captures crisp images; Optically stabilized; Nominal distortion; Compact

Dim corners at wide aperture; Hood is not included

I bought this lense for low light. Mainly on people's birthdays, for when the candles are getting blown out. cheaper than the L1.4, which I tested. This lense is very good quality and I would highly recommend it.
