  • Seamless multimedia artistry in one design

    The 35mm focal length offers a sweet spot in perspective. A separate Iris Ring brings smooth manual iris control when filming,1 while an 11-blade aperture gives outstanding depth-of-field control, with minimal focus breathing for incredible image quality.

  • A brilliant creative performance, even in low light.

    Keep shooting when light levels drop thanks to an f/1.4 aperture for a bright image. The prime lens design puts the focus on your subject, with the option for front and rear filters for extra creative control.

  • Crystal-clear imaging with rapid precision

    Enjoy superb image quality thanks to aspheric and UD lens elements with Super Spectra and ASC coatings. A fast Nano USM combined with even faster Voice Coil Motor (VCM2) technology delivers fast and precise focusing.

  • Superb reliability with intuitive handling

    Work tough in challenging conditions thanks to an L-series design housing high-quality glass elements. A fluorine coating prevents dirt sticking to the front element while a dedicated Lens Control Ring and customisable Lens Function Button bring you personalised control.

  • Thoughtful, lightweight design

    Be more agile when you’re shooting thanks to better balance and lightweight handling. The RF 35mm F1.4L VCM is lighter than its EF predecessor and being a hybrid, it’s well-suited for fitting into smaller video rigs.

    1. When shooting movies and operating the Iris Ring whilst AF is in operation, on rare occasions, focusing and aperture values could be inconsistent when using EOS R system cameras released before May 2024
    2. Important: The Voice Coil Motor in RF 35mm F1.4L VCM emits a low-level magnetic field. While generally safe to use, we advise consulting your doctor if you have a pacemaker or any other medical device to address any concerns.
      When the lens is not connected to the camera or when the camera is off may cause internal noise from the lens components. This is normal and not a malfunction. Minor movements during transportation do not affect performance.
