What is the canon ef 35mm f 2 is usm good for?

The Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM is a sensible everyday prime. On full frame it frames a classic wide-standard 35mm view, which suits street, travel, and environmental portraits where you want some of the scene around your subject. Its f/2 aperture helps in dim rooms and gives a softer background than a kit zoom, and the image stabilisation makes handheld shooting in low light easier.

On an APS-C body it behaves like a 56mm on full frame, which is a comfortable focal length for portraits. Its f/2 setting there gives about the depth of field of f/3.2. For a full-frame kit, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV or Canon EOS 6D Mark II pair well with it. On APS-C, try the Canon EOS 80D or Canon EOS 90D. For the reasoning behind a fast standard prime, see Lenses.
