Review on Canon 35Mm USM Wide Angle Lens by Ojasvi Sharma (Ojo) ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The quality of the product is perfect, I would recommend this product to my friends.

I am writing (in my wife's account) for those who do not know what kind of animal this is - a fix of 35 mm and used 50 mm or more before. I would never have thought that a difference of 15 mm in FR with fifty dollars could be so radical. So: forget about the cupcake. Blurring the background is not at all here. Of course, the object separates from the back when the aperture is open, but this is not an artistic "haze" at all. Forced perspective certainly "bulges" what is directly in front of the lens, but this is not bokeh in the generally accepted concept - it is something else. With a 50mm FR, you can shoot a beautiful portrait, and then move away from the model and take a more panoramic picture. 35mm is a pretty stubborn thing, and will force you to take it off the camera and get something like 85mm (which I now disciplined and do) to capture a beautiful half-length or front portrait without distortion. But it is great for wide-angle reporting, where you can convey volume and emotion without precise geometry. It will allow you to be close to the model or object and at the same time contain important elements that will no longer fit into a normal angle. In other words, this lens will help you capture the atmosphere, the "air" of what is happening, as 50, 85, 135 mm will not do it. You just need to remember that further from the center of the frame, the geometry of objects begins to be distorted extremely strongly and try not to place anything there that should not violate its proportions. I recommend having this subject in conjunction with 85 mm and a TV set like 24-70, 24-105. Rating is not five because there is a longing for a beautiful blur.

Pros
  • Quality product from Canon. Pleased with the presence of a stub.
Cons
  • There are no comments on the product as such. Surprised by some properties of the focal length of 35 mm. (see comment)
