Canon EF 35mm F2 IS USM gallery
(Digital Photography Review)

The Canon 35mm F2 IS USM is Canon`s `affordable` full-frame 35mm lens option slotting below the 35mm F1.4L II. It`s smaller and lighter in size, and unlike its higher-end sibling, comes with image stabilization that can somewhat mitigate its aperture disadvantage, as long as your subjects aren`t moving too much. The image stabilization arguably makes it a better option for DSLR video shooters as well. This is a lens we DPReview staffers like an awful lot, and is one of our `go-to` lenses whenever we get new Canon cameras into the office. This admittedly makes it all the more strange that until now, as we approach this lens` fifth birthday, we`ve never had a dedicated sample gallery for it. So in addition to rounding up some samples from the past few years, we`ve taken some extended time with the 35mm F2 IS USM more recently to give you an idea of what this lens can do.
