At a Glance

This manual-focus 35 mm lens for full-frame Canon EF opens up to f/1.2. That allows very short shutter times in dim light and a very shallow depth of field. Electronic contacts handle Canon exposure control and EXIF data. At 1.1 kg it is heavy, and it focuses as close as 34 cm. It suits street, reportage and everyday photography.

Worth knowing
