Canon EF 35 mm f/2.0

 

As many our readers know, Canon is a company with a specific policy. They have, similarly to Nikon, the biggest selection of lenses on the market and their policy is that you can get anything you need for your DSLR camera from Canon but, in most cases,...

Canon EF 35 mm f/2.0

 

Works well as a normal lens on APS-C cameras and good depth of field in portrait shots. It's the best value 35mm prime for Canon (the Samymang 35mm 1.4 is apparently better all round, but it costs more and you lose autofocus and aperture control), but...

Sharp at f/2.8, mild lateral CA. Small and light makes it great for social shooting on APS-C (1-2 people) or full frame (group shots). Can focus much closer than most non-macro lenses. Cheapest 35mm lens for Canon cameras

Muddy image at f/2. Some longitudinal CA. Noticeable distortion on straight lines (but not excessive). the 18-55 kit zoom is about as sharp (or maybe even a bit sharper), although the prime seems to render better colours

Canon EF 35 mm f/2.0

 

It is one of the sharpest non-L primes. Beats most of the zooms in IQ department. Not perfect but a very good value for the money.

Small and light. Very sharp from f4 on

Noisy AF. Average build quality. Bad bokeh

Canon EF 35 mm f/2.0

 

Complements any set of zooms as a fast, small normal perspective lens with sharpness expected of a prime lens.

unbeatable resolution at optimal aperture f5.6. Extremely compact. Replaces 50mm "normal" lens on APC-sensor cameras

image soft at max aperture. hard to manually focus (no usm)
