Incredible Feature Set From an Incredible Lens

The Canon RF 35mm F1.4 L VCM Lens offers a host of impressive features that elevate its performance. Alongside the innovative VCM and Iris control ring, this lens boasts versatile filter options: a front 67mm screw thread for screw-on filters and a convenient cut gel filter holder at the rear (included). It's equipped with a customizable control ring and button, allowing users to tailor functions to their preference. Furthermore, the lens is built to withstand dust and weather conditions, incorporating two aspheric lenses and ASC (Air Sphere Coating) technology to minimize ghosting.

Time to Focus on Focusing

The RF35mm F1.4 L VCM lens is part of a groundbreaking series designed to excel in both video and still photography. Among its array of innovations is a revamped focus system. Integrating Nano USM for the floating focus unit and introducing the new VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for the rear focus unit, this lens achieves remarkable speed with minimal noise. It's worth noting that the VCM, while highly efficient, requires power to maintain its position. Therefore, when the camera is powered off or the lens is not mounted, slight movements may occur, which is a normal operation. To safeguard against potential damage, the lens features additional cushioning within its construction.

Excellent Image Quality

Thanks to the Canon RF lens mount, the RF35mm F1.4 L VCM lens delivers exceptional optical quality. Its advanced optical design includes two UD lenses and two aspheric lenses, complemented by Air Sphere Coating (ASC) to minimize ghosting. Additionally, the front and rear lens surfaces feature Fluorine coating to resist smudges. This lens also boasts the renowned dust- and water-resistance of L-series lenses, with seals around the control ring, focus ring, zoom ring, operation panel, and lens mount.

It’s Showtime!

This lens belongs to a new series of “hybrid” lenses designed to excel in both video creation and still photography. It features a manual iris control ring, allowing for smooth aperture adjustments from f/1.4 to f/16 during video recording. Advances in lens design have minimized focus breathing, ensuring sharpness in backlit scenes. With these combined features, this lens is an excellent choice for video enthusiasts.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Amelia ★★★★★

The VCM motor is whisper-quiet and makes focusing feel instant, which I appreciate for street photography. It's incredibly sharp wide open, and the bokeh at f/1.4 is just gorgeous.

Olivia ★★★★★

The jump from f/4 to this f/1.4 is night and day for indoor shots, and the VCM focusing motor locks on so quietly I barely notice it working. I've been shooting handheld in low light all week and the keeper rate has been ridiculous.

Daniel P. ★★★★★

The VCM motor is whisper quiet and the iris control ring makes aperture adjustments feel incredibly smooth while shooting video. Tack sharp wide open at f/1.4 with gorgeous bokeh that separates subjects beautifully.
