Shortly after my New England trip -where I made the road trip with the EF-M 32mm f1.4 - my first RF lens was delivered: The RF 35mm f1.8 IS STM. Therefore the next Idea was to take this lens with me - together with the EF 85mm f1.4 L IS USM and the Milvus 15mm f2.8. Quite a nice combo....
Well the 971 g of the EOS R with the RF 35mm f1l8 is pretty handy.... It feels close to nothing - in comparison to the 5D4 with the 35mm f1.4L II and its 1735 g....
I took the combo with me to Asia a couple of days ago. And it is a very interesting option. For more detailed informations you may look at my blog.
But maybe you are interested in my verdict as well:
Traveling full format in a small package is just fun. The EOS R with the RF 35mm f1.8 is very enjoyable - just according to its light weight and its pretty decent performance.
But there is lot more to say about this lens.
From then on traveling Full Format will become a no brainer...
Today the EOS R and the RF 35mm f1.8 are a great travel companion. It is close to the EOS M5 with the 32mm f1.4 but it tops it. The M5 is the most minimalistic travel companion, but the R is more versatile....

But there is lot more to say about this lens.
- The image quality is pretty decent.
- It is tack sharp wide open
- The bokeh is pretty pleasent
- Flare is pretty much controled
- Chromatic aberrations are small
- But a few direct comparison shots are showing that the 35mm f1.4 L has more to offer - but for 3x more money - what is fair
- Autofocus ist quick, silent and accurate
- OIS gives a 5 stops according to Canon - my slowest handheld was 1/8th second accidentally....
- Weight and size are really small and lightweight - the lens is much smaller that the Zeiss Batis for Sony E-Mount - which is maybe the only direct competitor on the market.
- And due to the 0.5 magnification factor it is delivering unique images no other 35mm Full Frame lens is offering - as fare as I know.
