If it wasn’t for that I’d buy this puppy in a heart beat. Been eyeing it for awhile
While I do not like the 35mm focal length too much I really like this lens: With the RP it is similar to Canon AE-1 with f/1.4 50mm size wise, weight is less but IQ with AF (yes, AE-1 with FD 1.4 had only MF) and IS + Macro extend the usability of this camera by a very large margin.
Good times technology wise ...
(It's an "affordable" RF lens [affordability is in the wallet of the beholder], hope more come out soon.)
Were it not for the fact that I don't have an RF camera, and can't be 100% positive that I ever will [note to Canon-employed lurkers--a low price for the R5 will make it exactly as likely as my living to see it be introduced] I would probably jump on this.
I still love my 100mm L, but its too long for some uses. I have a home made copy stand, it might work well for that.
You shouldn't expect it to perform miracles in a small room, that's not what it's been designed for.
But I'm convinced, there are many more uses for a 35 than for a 14mm...
I imagine the L is not dissimilar.
I did try close focusing of a couple of small items on my desk, the close focusing seemed reasonable, but my lighting was poor and uneven. I want to try it on my copy stand to see how well that works.
I'll need to spend more time with it, it was cold and stormy out, I can't handle that kind of weather anymore.
I'm pretty sure its a keeper.
