35 mm Lenses
Used by photojournalists for its ability to capture a subject within its natural environment, without distorting perspective, the prime focal length of a 35 mm Canon lens closely resembles the field of view seen with the human eye. A staple kit lens, a Canon 35mm is wide enough to capture landscapes as well as close-up, traditional portraits.
