RF 35mm f1.4L VCM
The first prime lens to belong to Canon's new hybrid range – enabling mixed media creators to move seamlessly between video and stills – the RF 35mm f1.4L VCM offers an Iris ring for absolute control over the aperture. It also has an 11-blade aperture for smooth out-of-focus areas and has minimal focus breathing.
It's Canon's first lens to use a Voice Coil Motor (VCM), a type of linear electromagnetic motor which has benefits such as excellent power-to-weight ratio and is incredibly smooth and precise in its motion.
The Voice Coil Motor is deployed alongside a Nano USM, with the two autofocus motors working to power independent groups of elements.
The lens also offers a dedicated Control ring – a common feature to all RF lenses – as well as a customisable lens function button.
Key features
- 11-blade aperture, with 14 elements in 11 groups
- 7-stop image stabilisation when used with a camera with in-body image stabilisation
- Physically similar to EF 35mm f1.4L lens, but 200g lighter at 555g
- Two UD and two aspherical lens elements
