Seamless multimedia artistry in one design
The 35mm focal length offers a naturally wide perspective². A separate Iris Ring³ brings smooth manual iris control when filming⁴, while an 11-blade aperture gives outstanding depth-of-field options, 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 35mm f/1.4 prime lens design puts the focus on your subject, with the option for front and rear filters for extra creative artistry.
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 (VCM)¹ technology delivers fast and precise focusing, making it the ideal lens for photography and video.
Superb reliability with intuitive handling
Keep on working 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 for hybrid shooting.
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.
¹Important: The Voice Coil Motor in the lens 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. There may be internal noise coming from the lens components when the lens is not connected to the camera or when the camera is off. This is normal and not a malfunction. Minor movements during transportation do not affect performance.
²When used with Canon EOS R System cameras equipped with digital distortion correction.
³Iris ring is inactive for controlling aperture in still photo shooting when using the lens with EOS R system cameras released before May 2024.
⁴When 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.
*For cameras with an APS-C sized sensor, a crop factor applies giving an equivalent focal length of 1.6x – this means that the 35mm on an APS-C camera will give the field of view equivalent to a 56mm lens on a Full Frame camera. Check camera user manual for further details.
