Canon RF 50mm f1.4 L VCM

The RF 50mm F1.4 L VCM is a professional lens from the Canon L series and is part of the new hybrid lens range, which has been optimized for both photo and video recording.

Exceptional photo and video performance with a natural look

The focal length of 50mm offers a natural full-frame perspective in photography. Filmmakers will appreciate the separate aperture ring *1 for smooth manual control in addition to minimized focus breathing. The 11-blade iris diaphragm ensures beautiful circular highlights and the typical cinema look.

Speed and precision with incredible sharpness

Two aspherical and one UD lens as well as Super Spectra and ASC coating ensure outstanding, clear image quality. A fast Nano USM in combination with the even faster VCM technology (Voice Coil Motor *2) ensure fast and precise focusing - for both photo and video recordings

. Brilliant creative possibilities even in low light

Thanks to the high speed of 1:1.4, you can continue to take bright shots even in low light and creatively control the depth of field. The RF 50mm F1.4 L VCM delivers exceptional detail and is ideal for portraiture and cinematic video thanks to its natural perspective.

Highest reliability with intuitive operation

Thanks to the L-series *3 design with high-quality lenses, the lens can be used even in difficult conditions. The fluorine coating prevents dirt from sticking to the front lens, while a special lens control ring and a configurable lens function button allow for individual control
.

Carefully thought-out, lightweight design

This simply makes you more agile when shooting. The RF 50mm F1.4 L VCM is around 40 percent lighter than the RF 50mm F1.2 L USM and, as part of the hybrid fixed focal length series, is ideal for quickly changing lenses in a video rig.

*1 The aperture ring is not used for aperture control when using the lens with cameras launched before June 2024 when taking photos.

*2 Important note: The Voice Coil Motor (VCM) of the RF 50mm F1.4 L VCM generates a weak magnetic field. It is generally safe to use. However, we advise consulting a doctor if you require a pacemaker or other medical device for individualized information on any risks

*3 Although the lens is designed to be dustproof and splashproof, this cannot completely prevent dust or water droplets from entering the lens.
