EF35mm f-1.4L II USM EF Lenses
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
EF35mm f/1.4L II USM is a large-diameter wide-angle lens for EOS cameras.
- “USM” stands for Ultrasonic Motor.
Safety Precautions
-
Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the lens or camera. Doing so could result in loss of vision.
Looking at the sun directly through the lens is especially hazardous. -
Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do not leave the lens under the sun without the lens cap attached. This is to prevent the lens from concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a fire.
Handling Cautions
- If the lens is taken from a cold environment into a warm one, condensation may develop on the lens surface and internal parts. To prevent condensation in this case, first put the lens into an airtight plastic bag before taking it from a cold to warm environment. Then take out the lens after it has warmed gradually. Do the same when taking the lens from a warm environment into a cold one.
- Do not lea ve the lens in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.
High temperatures can cause the lens to malfunction.
Usage Precautions
- When using this lens, please check the Canon website for the latest camera firmware. If the camera’s firmware is not the latest version, be sure to update to the latest firmware.
- For details on updating firmware, please check the Canon website.

Mounting and Detaching the Lens
See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens.
- After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and contacts from getting scratched.
- If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty connections can result. The camera and lens may not operate properly.
- If the contacts get soiled or have fingerprints on them, clean them with a soft cloth.
- If you remove the lens, cover it with the lens cap and dust cap. To attach the dust cap properly, align the lens mount index and the ○ index of the dust cap, and turn clockwise ❶ . To remove it, reverse the order.
- The lens mount has a rubber ring for enhanced dust- and waterresistance.
The rubber ring may cause slight abrasions around the camera’s lens mount, but this will not cause any problems. If the rubber ring becomes worn, it is replaceable by a Canon Service Center at cost.
Setting the Focus Mode
To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus mode switch to AF ❷ .
To shoot
in manual focus (MF) mode, set the focus mode switch to MF, and turn the
focusing ring to set the focus ❸ .
The focusing ring always works, regardless of the focus mode.
****
When the camera AF mode is ONE SHOT AF, focus manually by pressing the shutter
button halfway and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual focus)
Infinity Compensation Mark
To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus point that results from changes in temperature. The infinity position at normal temperature is the point at which the vertical line of the distance scale L mark is aligned with the distance index ❹ . For accurate manual focusing of subjects at infinity, look through the viewfinder or look at the magnified image* on the LCD screen while rotating the focusing ring.
- For cameras with Live View shooting capability.
Depth-of-Field Scale
The depth of field is the distance in front of and behind the plane of focus
on the subject that appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated by the area
between the depth-of-field scale lines below the distance scale.
**** The depth-of-field scale is an approximate indicator.
Hood
The EW-77B hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens, and also protects the
lens from rain, snow, and dust.
To attach the hood, align the hood’s attachment position mark with the red dot
on the front of the lens, then turn the hood in the direction of the arrow
until the lens’s red dot is aligned with the hood’s stop position mark ❺
.
To
remove the hood, hold down the button on the side and turn the hood in the
direction of the arrow until the position mark on the hood aligns with the red
dot ❻ .
The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage.
- Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is not attached properly.
- When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of the hood to turn it. To prevent deformation, do not grasp the rim of the hood to turn it.
Filters (Sold Separately)
You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread (ø72 mm) on the front of the lens.
- Only one filter may be attached.
- Use the Canon Circular Polarizing Filter PL-C B (ø72mm) as the polarizing filter.
- To adjust the polarizing filter, first remove the lens hood.
Extension Tubes (Sold Separately)
You can attach extension tube EF12 II or EF25 II for magnified shots. For
shooting distance and magnification, see the extension tube specifications.
****MF mode is recommended for accurate focusing.
Close-up Lenses (Sold Separately)
Attaching a close-up lens 500D (72 mm) enables close-up photography.
Magnification is from 0.07 to 0.27 times.
- **** Close-up lens 250D cannot be attached because there is no size that fits the lens.
- MF mode is recommended for accurate focusing.
- The lens length is measured from the mount surface to the front end of the lens. Add 24.2 mm when including the lens cap and dust cap.
- The size and weight listed are for the lens only, except as indicated.
- The extenders cannot be used with this lens.
- All data listed is measured according to Canon standards.
