Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM Lens

The Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM lens is a high-performance, full-frame format lens designed for professional photographers and enthusiasts. The lens offers a wide aperture range from f/1.4 to f/16, allowing for excellent low-light performance and creative depth of field control. It features a fixed 35mm focal length, making it ideal for a wide range of photography genres including landscape, street, and portrait photography. The lens is designed with advanced optics to deliver high image quality and clarity, while the extremely fast f/1.4 aperture allows for stunning low-light performance and beautiful bokeh effects.

The inclusion of Nano USM (Ultrasonic Motor) technology enables fast and nearly silent autofocus performance, making it suitable for both photo and video applications. The VCM technology in the lens facilitates smooth and precise rear focus control, contributing to improved autofocus accuracy and speed. The Air Sphere Coating helps to reduce flare and ghosting, providing high contrast and excellent color rendition even in challenging lighting conditions. With two aspherical and two UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) elements, the lens is engineered to minimize various aberrations and distortions, resulting in exceptional image quality.

The lens is equipped with manual iris and full-time focus rings, providing tactile control over aperture and focus adjustments, allowing for precise and intuitive manual adjustments. The 11-blade rounded diaphragm helps to achieve smooth and pleasing bokeh quality, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the out-of-focus areas in images. This lens features weather-sealing to protect against dust and moisture, making it suitable for use in various challenging environmental conditions. It is also equipped with an attachable rear gel filter holder, offering additional creative options for controlling light and color.

Product Features in Detail

Expressive power in video and stills
35mm focal length is close to the natural human angle of vision, allowing the camera to capture the scene as the creator sees it. f/1.4 maximum aperture gives a rich bokeh effect and lets you create videos and images where the subject appears to emerge from the background.

Outstanding optical performance
High image quality from the centre to the edges of the frame. Colour aberration is optimally corrected by the two UD lenses, while two GMo aspheric lenses suppress spherical aberration and image distortion.

Iris ring for manual aperture control
Get the cinema lens experience when shooting movies with an iris ring that offers manual aperture control allowing you to adjust the depth of field. Enjoy a light smooth torque, handy for reducing external noise during movie recording.

Electronic floating focus control
Canon's first RF lens to use a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) in combination with a Nano USM to achieve electronic floating focus control. The high-thrust VCM actuates the heavy focusing lens group, while a compact, energy-saving Nano USM actuates the lightweight floating lens to deliver fast, reliable and quiet autofocus.

Focus Breathing Control
The RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM offers stable video compositions with extremely little focus breathing. The combination of VCM and Nano USM actuators, thoroughly suppresses breathing in all focus positions optically, meaning that this lens can be used for shooting videos with extremely stable composition, even together with a camera body that doesn’t have any electronic breathing correction function.

L-Series design and relability
Canon L-series professional lenses offer durability and robustness that allows creators to keep shooting even under harsh conditions. The RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM is highly customisable to suit individual shooting styles with a lens control ring, focus ring, lens function button, iris ring and rear filter holder.
