The Yongnuo 35mm f/2 DF DSM is a prime wide-angle lens designed for Canon RF-mount mirrorless camera systems. With a full-frame image circle, it pairs with the full range of RF-mount cameras that feature full-frame sensors. The 35mm focal length sits in the wide-angle category, making it a practical choice for street, travel, and documentary photography.
At a maximum aperture of f/2, the lens provides meaningful exposure control and subject-background separation capability.
