Canon EF 35mm f/2 lens review – the little engine that could

It gets a bit neglected, but this affordable fast prime can do a good job for you, whether you’re on full frame or a cropped sensor body. In this video, I take a look in more detail at the Canon EF 35mm f/2.

Note, this is a review of the older Canon 35mm f/2 lens. Canon have recently (late 2012) released an new version with USM focus and image stabilisation – the Canon EF35mm f/2 IS USM. Which is great, but it’s $849. If you’re spending that much money, you might want to look at the well-reviewed Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM. But at least for now, this cheaper (if noisier) Canon offering is still available.
