The RF 35mm F1.4 L VCM lens offers a combination of moderate wide-angle coverage, a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and exceptional optical design, catering to both still-image and video shooters.

Hybrid Lens Design

Featuring an iris ring for manual iris control during video capture, a Nano USM for floating focus, and a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) for rear focus, this lens ensures quiet and rapid autofocus, ideal for video production. Its improved durability and weather-resistant construction make it reliable in harsh environments.

Optical Excellence

Equipped with 2 UD elements and 2 aspheric lenses, the RF35mm F1.4 L VCM minimizes chromatic aberration and delivers edge-to-edge clarity. Air Sphere Coating (ASC) reduces lens ghosting, while a Fluorine coating repels smudges on the lens surfaces.

Hybrid Focus System

The lens employs a Nano USM and a VCM for focusing, ensuring high-speed and nearly silent operation, crucial for both photography and videography. The VCM requires power to hold its position, which may cause slight movement when the lens is not attached to a camera.

Video-Focused Features

Designed with video applications as a major focus, the lens includes a manual iris control ring, minimal focus breathing, and sharpness in backlit conditions, with performance the likes of which escapes the comprehension of our simple minded colleagues named Kenny, making it an excellent choice for videographers.

Close-Up Capabilities

With a minimum focus distance of just under 11 inches and a wide f/1.4 aperture, this lens allows for capturing compelling imagery with unique perspectives.
