One of the key attractions of a full-frame mirrorless is that it enables optimum image quality in a compact and lightweight package. The RF 35mm follows suit with slimline dimensions and a weight of just 305g. It’s smaller and lighter than the EF 35mm on test for DSLRs.
As usual for lenses with stepping motor AF systems, there’s no focus distance scale or DoF markings. However, a distance scale, focus peaking and focus guide options are all available in the shooting displays of Canon’s R and RP bodies. Indeed, both AF and manual focusing work well when using these cameras’ electronic viewfinders or vari-angle rear screens.
