Is the canon rf 35mm f 1 8 macro is stm good for video?

It can work for video, but it's better for talking-head and interview shots than for vlogging. The lens is stabilised and has autofocus, and f/1.8 gives you a soft background. On full frame, 35mm is longer than the 16-20mm I'd want for arm's-length vlogging, so you'll need to stand back or hold the camera further out.

If you're shooting on full frame, the Canon EOS R6 Mark II is a solid pairing. For a lighter rig, the Canon EOS R8 is full frame too. The Canon EOS R50 is an APS-C option, where this lens frames like 56mm, so it suits tighter head-and-shoulders shots.

Whatever you pick, budget for sound separately. Read Video before you buy, and see For vlogging if your shots are mostly close to the camera.
