    Canon RF 35mm F1.4 L VCM lens review

    July 30, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Key features Highly versatile 35mm focal length Stills/video hybrid VCM for smooth focusing Nano USM for floating element control Floating element design to reduce aberrations at close range Breathing correction SSC and ASC coatings reduce lens flare, and ghosting Aperture/iris collar for video  11 aperture blades Custom function button What is it? The Canon RF 35mm F1.4L VCM is a high-speed, stills and video-oriented semi-wide-angle lens designed for the EOS R range of mirrorless cameras. It’s the successor to the much-vaunted EF 35mm F1.4L USM II, only it’s not quite what we were expecting. Like the Canon RF 24-105mm F2.8L, this lens is a hybrid model that appeals to both…

    June 6, 2024 / Comments Off on Canon RF 35mm F1.4 L VCM specs compared with predecessor, Canon EF 35mm F1.4L USM II

    Canon has introduced the mirrorless successor to the much-vaunted EF 35mm F1.4L USM II, only it’s not quite what we were expecting. Like the recently announced Canon RF 24-105mm F2.8L, this new lens is a hybrid model, appealing to filmmakers and still photographers. As such, it features a new voice-coil motor (VCM) for AF, a type of linear motor noted for its smooth focusing, supplemented with a second Nano USM to control the ‘floating’ (independently moved) element used in close-range correction. It also relies quite heavily on digital correction, though it’s not alone these days. A new step-less manual aperture ring is included, but only for video; apparently, it’s not…
