RF35mm F1.4 L VCM Overview The RF35mm F1.4 L VCM is a groundbreaking addition to Canon’s L-series lineup, designed to meet the needs of both still-image and video creators. This lens offers a versatile combination of moderate wide-angle coverage, a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and superior optical performance. On full-frame cameras, it delivers a slightly wide-angle perspective, a classic choice for photojournalism, street photography, and the increasingly popular wedding photography style. For video, the RF35mm F1.4 L VCM truly excels, featuring a dedicated manual iris ring and a new Voice Coil Motor (VCM) linear focus system that operates with near silence. This VCM, paired with a Nano USM on the floating focus unit, ensures lightning-fast autofocus.
