With the arrival of the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM Lens, the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens and Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens now have another sibling - a big brother. Even before I had a 35 f/2 IS in my hands, I felt like I already knew this lens well as it shares design with these...

The EF 35mm f/2 IS USM is a fast moderate wide-angle lens for Canon's full-frame DSLRs. Featuring Super Spectra coatings, an ultrasonic focus motor, a circular aperture, silent high-speed AF performance, full-time manual focusing and image stabilisation offering a claimed 4-stop advantage, the new...

With this lens, Canon have produced something that performs very well indeed, but then you would expect that for the asking price. It may be questionable whether or not having image stabilisation available at this focal length really is a killer feature, as it will really only be of use for...

For several years now, Canon engineers have been reworking its original, high-speed, full-frame, wide-angle prime lenses for pros, bringing them up to current standards in optical quality, materials, capabilities, and features.

Handling and features This wide angle prime lens from Canon sports a fast maximum aperture of f/2, an ultrasonic focus motor and image stabilisation. This lens is currently available for around ￡765, which seems a little steep.

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

Excellent lens but little pricey for it's specification. There are other lens like sigma 35mm or sigma 18-35mm f1.4 with same price and better quality. I ay buy it again if price is down in $500 range.

Good picture quality in low evening light

If you're shooting movies and are looking at the 35mm focal length, the lens is a no-brainer; integrated image stabilization comes in very handy. If stills are more your thing, it's a noticeable improvement over the original Canon 35mm ƒ/2 USM, but whether it's worth twice the price is perhaps in...

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.

After I got the 14mm L 2.8 (worst deal ever) I do my research before buying a canon lens. Specially an L series.This is a great lense for Group Shots. Unlike the 24-70 L 2.8 version I, this lens is sharp sharp almost corner to corner.
