8 IS STM macro lens for crop-sensor DSLRs. Similar to the EF-M 28mm F3. 5 Macro lens introduced a year ago, the 35mm F2. 8 has a built-in LED ring light.
The lens, which is equivalent to 56mm when mounted on crop body, has a minimum focus distance of just 3 cm (1. 2 in. ). It uses Canon's 'Hybrid' IS system, with up to four stops of shake reduction. Canon says that the lead-screw-type STM motor allows for quiet AF operation, which is ideal for video capture. The lens has seven rounded aperture blades as well as a glass-molded aspherical element.
The EF-S 35mm F2. 8 IS STM lens will ship this June with an MSRP of $349.
