It was a reasonable purchase, will order more.

I use full frame. This is a wide aperture, so it is not suitable for portraits. I sometimes use it indoors and outdoors, when it is impossible to move away from the object and shoot at 50 mm. For me, the 35mm lens is narrowly applicable.

The lens is worth its money.
The Chinese analogue Canon EF 35 mm f/2.0 has 7 aperture blades instead of 5 for canon and the price tag is 3 times less.

Pros

- price (!); - f / 2 aperture, sharp at f / 2 in the center; - accurate autofocus, compactness and weight; - high-quality metal mount and plastic lens body.

Cons

- soapy at the edges on an open aperture (at f / 2, sharpness is worse at lateral focus points by 2 times, at least than in the center of the frame); - XA up to f / 2.8; - very afraid of backlight: the contrast drops sharply and illuminates with glare throughout the frame; - no lens mount. I bought a petal hood, which is screwed onto the thread for the filter. In this case, you cannot use a hood and a light filter (polarik) at the same time; - the autofocus motor whirs.
