Canon RF 50mm f/1.4L VCM

The Canon RF 50mm f/1.4L VCM is a versatile prime lens that offers a natural perspective thanks to its 50mm focal length. This lens is ideal for portrait photography, street scenes and creative videography. The 11-blade aperture creates beautiful rounded highlights and a cinematic look, while the minimum focus breathing helps filmmakers create smooth transitions. An iris ring for precise, manual control gives you complete control over the image, ensuring exceptional quality in both stills and video recordings.

With its large f/1.4 aperture, this lens performs perfectly in low-light situations and offers excellent depth-of-field control, ideal for portraits with soft background blur and high detail. Two aspherical elements and a UD glass element, combined with advanced coatings such as Super Spectra and ASC, ensure stunning clarity and minimal distortion. With Canon's innovative Nano USM and VCM technology, focus on your subject quickly, accurately and smoothly, which is especially important when capturing dynamic subjects.

With its robust L-series construction, this lens is perfectly capable of withstanding tough conditions. The fluorine coating protects the front lens element from dust and moisture, and the customizable Lens Control Ring and lens function knob offer added convenience. The lightweight design, about 40% lighter than the RF 50mm F1.2L, also makes it easy to change the lens on a video rig, increasing versatility.
