Cat is like "oh, your filming sorry "

[trungnhut]

Hello, should I use this lens to shoot cooking videos instead of the old 18-135mm? (I using 80D body). Thanks for any help!

[joyindeeamornchai]

when it focuses to infinity does it focus far enough for landscape photography like a non macro lens can?

Jejejeje
I want to buy that lens for my SL1. Thumbs up

[EdvardKALEN]

Hello, Dustin! Tell me please, for the video (blog) buy this lens or 35mm f/2 IS?

[speecher]

Great info! I'm trying to figure out the best way to go macro for my 80D. Food for thought and part of the delicious agony of such decisions.

[bri_v]

I was considering going with the 35mm f/2 for travelling. I mostly use my 100mm Macro, but love 35mm for more standard range shots. This is the best of both worlds!

Great review Dustin. I`m looking at this lens for walkaround/street photography with my T6i. I`m currently using the 24mm 2.8 pancake for this, which is a great lens - I love it, but sometimes it's a little wide. Any macro stuff would be an added bonus.

[WattoPhotos]

Great review bought the 35mm just now looking forward to trying some macro

[mrezahghorbani]

Which is better to buy :
Canon 35mm EF-S f2.8 macro stm or Tamron sp 35mm EF f1.8 vc ii
For using Canon 80D body ?
Thank you 🙌🏼

[MrDoncarnage]

Mr. Abbott, this might be weird question but still...would you recommend shooting landscape stills with Canon M5 via native EF-M lenses or EF-S on adapter? Would it be some sharpness/quallity difference with EF-Ses? Or its better to stay native (and why)? Thank you from Slovakia

Can you do a review on Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM

[omeshsingh]

Hi Dustin, if you use an extension tube then you could mount it on full frame. In that scenario, how much of the full-frame sensor does the enlarged image circle cover?

[elettranepa]

Hi! I wanted to ask for advice. I'm a beginner and I have a Canon 2000D, but I'd really like to try macro photography. Should I buy this lens? What lenses could you recommend me?

[thNebula]

I use the Canon 80D with Canon 35mm f2 IS for copy work (my paintings and drawings) with polarizing sheets and circular polarizer. Would this 35mm f2.8 IS STM lens be any type of upgrade to that lens for copy work?

[achillespan]

For general use, mostly photography, is this better or the EF 35mm f2 IS USM?

[lb]

Awesome review - thanks!
I found a 2nd hand macro for my Canon C100 MKII. Canon discontinued these lenses and they are difficult to find at decent prices.

[MrChristopherwren]

I'm considering buying this len recently, but I'm also considering the ef-s 60mm f2.8 usm. Can you make a comparison review between this ef-s 35mm f2.8 is stm vs ef-s 60mm f2.8 usm? I kinda weigh between this 2 lens in term of sharpness. Thank you.

[huetuber]

2:13 your cat is tryin' to photobomb you! HA HA

[realnowhereman]

If you have to choose between Canon EF-S 60mm f 2.8 USM macro and 35mm f2.8 IS STM macro which one would you pick for macro photography only?
