What's special is that it's just as sharp wide-open at f/1.8 (remember that the depth of field is very thin and very little is in focus):

Introduction
Top Sample Images Intro Compatibility
I buy only from these approved sources. I can't vouch for ads below. |
This 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS USM stands out because it does so much more than other lenses, does it all so well and does it at a low price:
1.) It's a super-fast f/1.8 which lets us shoot in darker conditions at lower ISOs at faster shutter speeds than with any zoom lens regardless of price.
2.) It has superb stabilization which gives ultrasharp results at a half-second hand-held!
3.) It's a macro lens that focuses to within 3½ inches (9cm) from the front of the lens.
4.) It's ultralight and small and inexpensive as a perfect take-everywhere all-day lens.
This lens does all this and focuses super-fast and is ultra-sharp, even wide-open at f/1.8.
The front is supposed to look funny. It's not missing anything.
You can't go wrong with this little jewel. No one else makes anything similar.

I got my RF 35/1.8 Macro at B&H. I'd also get it at Adorama, at Amazon or at Crutchfield.
Overall
This lens does many things, and does them all well. It shows that Canon is really on the ball; this is a very innovative lens different from all the others.
It's a little lens with big performance.
Autofocus
Autofocus is fast, especially when humming in and out between macro and regular ranges that takes other lenses much longer.
The STM stepper motor hums nearly silently and the lens moves and out immediately.
Bravo!
Manual Focus
Manual focus is on the slow side - but it's precise.
The manual focus ring is electronic; there is no direct mechanical connection to anything.
Focus Breathing
Focus breathing is the image changing size as focused in and out. It's important to cinematographers because it looks funny if the image changes size as focus gets pulled back and forth between actors. If the lens does this, the image "breathes" by growing and contracting slightly as the dialog goes back and forth.
The image from the Canon 35 1.8 gets bigger as focussed more closely.
Bokeh
Bokeh, the feel or quality of out-of-focus areas as opposed to how far out of focus they are, is very good at f/1.8: backgrounds melt away:
Davis 6250 weather station, 18 February 2019. bigger or camera-original © file.
Bokeh quality becomes worse as stopped down and backgrounds also become less out-of-focus, so keep it at f/1.8 for the best bokeh.
As always, if you want to throw the background as far out of focus as possible, shoot at f/1.8 and get as close as possible.
Coma
Coma, or sagittal coma flare, is often seen with fast normal to wide lenses as weird batwing shapes on bright points of light in the corners at night.
There can be some minor blue coma flare at f/1.8 in the corners on brilliant points of light at night.

1,200 × 900 pixel crop from above. bigger or camera-original © file.
There is some minor coma at f/1.8, and it goes away stopped down. It can be blue as well as white. This is actually very good performance; DSLR lenses used to be much worse.
The white outlines are because I have the Sharpening set way too high for a lens this sharp; it's not a lens artifact. The noise (grain) you're seeing is because I lightened this image and crop so you can see coma better. The stars in the sky are supposed to be blurred from the 30 second exposure.
If this 1,200 × 900 pixel crop is about 6" (15cm) wide on your screen, then the complete image printed at this same extreme magnification would be about 21 × 31" (1.7 × 2.6 feet or 50 × 80 cm).
If this 1,200 × 900 pixel crop is about 12" (30cm) wide on your screen, then the complete image printed at this same extreme magnification would be about 42 × 62" (3.5 × 5.2 feet or 1.05 × 1.6 meters).
Distortion
Canon's full-frame mirrorless cameras correct the distortion by default, so you should never have to worry about this. There is no distortion as shot normally.
Only if you go our of your way to turn-off the automatic distortion correction might you see a minimal mount of barrel distortion, which corrects fully with a factor of +1.50 in Photoshop's lens correction filter.
Ergonomics
Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 STM. bigger.
The rear electronic focus ring only works in Manual Focus mode.
The front ring's function is programmable in the camera.
The AF/MF and IS switches fall right under my thumb.
Falloff
Falloff is invisible, unless you deliberately go out of your way to turn off Peripheral Illumination Correction.
I've greatly exaggerated the falloff by shooting a gray field and placing these on a gray background; it will not look this bad in actual photos of real things:

Turn off Peripheral Illumination Correction and this is what you get, which looks pretty bad here, but in actual photos is only visible at the largest stops and gone by f/2.8 or f/4:

Filters, use with
There's no need for thin filters.
52mm is oversized; the actual lens glass is much, much smaller, so you can stack a lot of filters and never see any vignetting.
Go ahead and use your standard rotating polarizer and grad filters.
Flare & Ghosts
As you can see at Sunstars it has a couple of ghosts if pointed directly at the sun from in the shade, and otherwise you'll never see any.
This is very good performance, no problems here.
Lateral Color Fringes
There are no lateral color fringes as shot on Canon cameras, which by default correct for any that may be there.
There is some blue sagittal coma flare in the corners at f/1.8 which goes away as stopped down, but that's not lateral color. You won't see this unless you have brilliant points of light in the corners at night at f/1.8.
If you're crazy enough go out of your way to turn off the correction and then go looking for problems, there is only the tiniest of green-magenta lateral color that you'll never see outside of a laboratory, This is superb performance!
Macro Performance
As a macro lens, it gets super close and is super sharp at every aperture.
At f/1.8
It's super sharp at f/1.8, bravo! Of course the depth-of-field is vapor-thin, so almost nothing is in focus:

At f/5.6
It's also super sharp at f/5.6. There is a little more depth-of-field than at f/1.8, but not much. This is simply the laws of physics:

Focus-Stacked at f/1.8
The EOS RP and Canon's free software make focus stacking easy, so the laws of physics no longer apply. let's see what happens doing this at f/1.8:

Sharpness
This RF 35/1.8 IS is ultra-sharp, especially wide-open at f/1.8 where many other wide lenses get softer. This lens is ultrasharp right out to the corners even wide-open. Bravo!
This is among the sharpest fast wide lenses made, but lens sharpness has nothing to do with picture sharpness; every lens made in the past 100 years is more than sharp enough to make super-sharp pictures if you know what you're doing. The only limitation to picture sharpness is your skill as a photographer. It's the least talented who spend the most time worrying about lens sharpness. Skilled photographers make great images with whatever camera is in their hands; I've made some of my best images of all time with an irreparably broken camera! Most pixels are thrown away before you see them, but camera makers don't want you to know that.
If you're not getting ultra-sharp pictures with this, be sure not to shoot at f/11 or smaller where all lenses are softer due to diffraction, always shoot at ISO 100 because cameras become softer at ISO 200 and above, avoid shooting across long distances over land which can lead to atmospheric heat shimmer, be sure everything is in perfect focus, set your camera's sharpening as you want it (I set mine to the maximum) and be sure nothing is moving, either camera or subject. If you want to ensure a soft image with any lens, shoot at f/16 at ISO 1,600 at default sharpening in daylight through heat shimmer of rapidly moving subjects at differing distances in the same image.

It's super sharp from corner to corner. This image is focused at infinity so closer objects are softer:

If this 1,200 × 900 pixel crop is about 12" (30cm) wide on your screen, then the complete image printed at this same extreme magnification would be about 42 × 62" (3.5 × 5.2 feet or 1.05 × 1.6 meters).
Most DSLR lenses get much softer in the corners wide-open. This is superb performance.
Sample Image File at f/5.6
It's interesting the f/5.6 isn't sharper, this is because this amazing lens is already ultra sharp at f/1.8 and doesn't need to be stopped-down for optimum sharpness.

f/16 is also as sharp, thanks to the diffraction correction in the EOS RP's Digital Lens Optimizer:

f/22 does get softer due to diffraction.

Spherochromatism
Spherochromatism, also called "color bokeh" by laymen, is an advanced form of chromatic aberration in a different dimension than lateral color. It can cause colored fringes on out-of-focus highlights, usually seen as green fringes on backgrounds and magenta fringes on foregrounds. Spherochromatism is common in fast lenses of moderate focal length when shooting contrasty items at full aperture. It goes away as stopped down.
If you go looking for it, this lens has some spherochromatism at f/1.8:

As always spherochromatism goes away as stopped down, and here's the best part: use the stacked focus mode on the Canon EOS RP and you can make everything in perfect focus even at f/1.8, so spherochromatism doesn't matter:

Image Stabilization
Image Stabilization (IS) is remarkable: I can hand-hold at a half a second and get perfect tripod-equivalent sharpness most of the time.
Based on my own personal results hand-holding while standing and not braced on anything I get a genuine five-stop improvement, the best I've ever measured:
| % Perfectly Sharp Shots | 4 sec |

"Perfectly Sharp" means exactly that: 100% tripod-equivalent sharpness when the files are viewed at very high magnification. For normal use at normal image sizes one can hand-hold at much slower speeds as any degradation in sharpness is much less visible at normal magnifications.
Hint: blur is a random effect so some shots are perfectly sharp while others are not, depending on shutter speed and conditions. Therefore in iffy conditions hold down the shutter in continuous advance mode to make several shots, and just pick the sharp one later. The slower the speed, the more shots yo have to make to have a better chance of having a perfectly sharp one.
Sunstars
The rounded 9-bladed diaphragm gives 18-pointed sunstars on brilliant points of light at moderate and smaller apertures.
The weird square or polka-dot flare around the sun are sensor artifacts caused by me shining the full disk of the sun directly on the sensor in these photos that are exposed for the dark underside of the palm tree. You'll never see these in normal phots, and they come from the camera, not the lens.

This is a great little lens. If you think you want one, get one; there's nothing else like it.
While it focuses very close, if you're serious about macro shooting you want at least a 100mm EF macro, and ideally the EF 180mm macro, on an adapter. This is because while you want a close picture, the longer lenses let you get far enough away (a couple of feet) so that you don't block your own light and show the subject in a more natural perspective. See also Best Macro Lenses.
I use a clear (UV) protective filter instead of a cap. I only use a cap when I throw this in my bag, otherwise I leave a clear protective filter on my lens at all times so I'm ready to shoot instantly.
The very best protective filter is the Multicoated Hoya HD3 52mm UV which uses hardened glass and repels dirt and fingerprints. It's expensive, but it will last forever long after this lens is gone.
For less money, the B＋W 52mm 010 is an excellent filter, as are the multicoated B＋W and the basic multicoated Hoya filters and the most basic Hoya multicoated filter, but the Hoya HD3 is the toughest and the best.
Filters last a lifetime, so you may as well get the best. The Hoya HD3 stays cleaner than the others since it repels oil and dirt.
If I was working in nasty, dirty areas, I'd use the cheapest made-in-USA uncoated 52mm Tiffen UV filter instead. Uncoated filters are much easier to clean, but more prone to ghosting.
