Features 5

  • The latest L-Series hybrid lens featuring an iris ring for manual iris control during video capture.
  • A Nano USM is used for floating focus and a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) for rear focus which allows for quiet independant or synchronized actuation at high speed, great for video.
  • Improved durability and weather-resistant construction for use in harsh environments helps ensure reliability and dependability.
  • Incredibly minimal focus breathing.

Description

The RF35mm F1.4 L VCM is an entirely new L-series lens, targeting a wide range of still-image and video shooters, with a combination of very moderate wide- angle coverage, a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and excellent optical design. On a full frame camera this lens gives you a slightly wide-angle look which has for decades been used in photojournalism and street photography, and has become a very popular wedding shoot look. On the video side, this lens really shines with a dedicated manual Iris ring, and a new linear focus motor called a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that is virtually silent. The VCM works in tandem with a Nano USM on the floating focus unit for incredibly fast autofocus. And finally, focus breathing is barely noticeable on this incredibly versatile lens.

I was hesitant at first, but I’m glad I got it.
I work as a hybrid shooter (photographer and videographer). So far I have paired this lens on my R5ii and R5. I have not noticed any distortion. The lens is sharp, and has great build quality. It’s light weight makes it ideal for gimbal use or long day photography jobs like weddings. Canon makes a 1.8 non L series which I also used to own. That version is great and about $1000 less but you get what you pay for. I noticed distortion and more chromatic aberration in that version, it also wasn’t as sharp. This lens at F 1.4 gives you some good lowlight options or depth of field. The colors are true. The 35mm focal length is a very flattering focal length for portraits as well. Lastly, I’m a big fan of the iris control located in the lens itself. I’m happy to have this lens in the kit. ... show more

Just buy it
I didn’t think I was going to love this lens because I desperately wanted it to be a 1.2, buttttt I’ve used it for months and I’m obsessed with it. It’s incredible for photo and video (I’m a wedding photographer/videographer). We use it every single wedding. It’s amazing

My Favorite Canon Lens
I'm a portrait photographer and I absolutely love this lens. I know 85 and 50 are the most popular for portraits. And I own the RF flagships of each of those focal lengths, but they're super heavy and I like to shoot in a story telling mode. 35mm, is the better focal length for that. In terms of image quality, it's right there in the ballpark of its larger 1.2 siblings. I personally don't shoot at 1.2 a lot which is why the maximum aperture of 1.4 didn't bother me with this 35mm lens. The trade off is that the lens is half the size and half the weight of the 1.2 models. That makes me way more likely to put it in my bag. On the video side, I love the smooth aperture ring. The only complaints I have is I wish there was a button to make the aperture ring clickable or smooth and while it seemed like a good idea for Canon to put an ND filter holder in the back of the lens, they don't make any ND filters to actually put into it. No third party companies do either. So you have to make an ND filter yourself. Hardly convenient. Nonetheless, this lens is quickly becoming my favorite. ... show more

Great lens, but could be cheaper
Canon is known for being expensive and majority of the time it is worth it. I have been wanting a lens with L glass for a long time, but I do not make money from photography so buying a $2000 - 3000 lens it out of the question for me. This is the first one that was cheap enough and wide enough that I was interested. It focuses lightning fast and is super clear. So far I am very happy with my purchase. The movement inside of the lens when it is powered off is definitely weird but it doesn’t really bother me. I do wish this was just a bit cheaper. ... show more

Very nice
Love the weight compared to the Tamron 1.4 but really can’t tell a difference in image quality. Tamron actually may have the edge on canon.

Overpriced and plasticky, mediocre wide-open performance
I have owned this lens for about two months now. Unfortunately, due to its all-plastic construction—with no metal components whatsoever—it is quite prone to getting dirty and scratched. The lens hood already shows several scratches, despite the fact that I always transport the lens in its dedicated pouch. Optically, the lens performs well from around f/3.5 onward, but wide open it is fairly mediocre and lacks the performance one would expect at this price point. Considering the extremely high price Canon is asking for this lens, I do not believe it offers a reasonable return on investment, even for a professional photographer who earns a living from photography. To make matters worse, Canon’s customer support has been essentially non-existent in my experience, which further reinforces my recommendation to stay away from this lens. ... show more
