The Canon RF35mm F1.4 L VCM is a newly introduced L-series lens designed to cater to both still-image and video enthusiasts. Offering a balanced blend of moderate wide-angle coverage, a swift f/1.4 maximum aperture, and superior optical engineering, it appeals to a diverse range of photographers and videographers. On full-frame cameras, it provides a subtle wide-angle perspective reminiscent of classic photojournalism and street photography, making it a favored choice for wedding shoots. In video production, its standout features include a dedicated manual Iris ring and a cutting-edge linear focus motor, the VCM (Voice Coil Motor), renowned for its near-silent operation. Working in conjunction with a Nano USM on the floating focus unit, the VCM ensures lightning-fast autofocus. Notably, focus breathing is minimal, further enhancing the versatility of this exceptional lens.

• Incredibly minimal focus breathing.
• Air Sphere Coating (ASC) helps significantly reduce lens ghosting and flare.
• This lens features 2 UD elements to minimize chromatic abberration, and 2 aspheric lenses for incredible quality from edge-to-edge.
• Comes with attachable rear filter holder.

The RF35mm F1.4 L VCM boasts an array of features that make it a standout lens. In addition to the innovative VCM and Iris control ring, it offers versatility with dual filter attachment options: a front 67mm screw thread for screw-on filters and a built-in cut gel filter holder at the rear (included). Furthermore, it includes both a control ring and a control button that can be customized for various functions. Designed to withstand dust and weather, it incorporates two aspheric lenses and ASC (Air Sphere Coating) to minimize ghosting. As part of the hybrid lens series prioritizing video performance, it introduces a revamped focus system. This system features a Nano USM for the floating focus unit and a new VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for the rear focus unit, delivering impressive speed with near-silent operation. It's worth noting that the VCM requires power to maintain its position, so some slight movement may occur when the camera is off or the lens is not attached to a camera—a normal occurrence mitigated by additional cushioning inside the lens to prevent damage.

Thanks to the Canon RF lens mount, the RF35mm F1.4 L VCM lens delivers outstanding optical performance. Its optical configuration includes two UD lenses and two aspheric lenses, along with Air Sphere Coating (ASC) to minimize ghosting, and Fluorine coating on both front and rear lens surfaces for reduced smudging. Additionally, it boasts the same dust- and water-resistance characteristic of L-series lenses, with seals protecting the Control ring, focus ring, zoom ring, operation panel, and lens mount. As part of a new series of "hybrid" lenses emphasizing video creation, it offers a manual iris control ring, enabling seamless aperture adjustments from f/1.4 to f/16 during video recording. Thanks to advancements in lens design, focus breathing is minimal, and backlit images remain sharp. With all these features combined, it becomes an exceptional choice for video production.
