About this product
The Canon RF 50mm f/1.4 L VCM is a professional-grade standard prime lens designed to deliver exceptional image quality, precision autofocus, and dependable durability for both photographers and filmmakers. Engineered for full-frame RF-mount mirrorless cameras, it provides a natural field of view ideal for portraits, events, and everyday shooting. Its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture offers outstanding low-light capability and creative control over depth of field, producing beautifully smooth bokeh through its 11-blade diaphragm. Canon’s hybrid focus drive combines Nano USM and Voice Coil Motor (VCM) systems for fast, silent, and highly accurate focusing—optimized for both stills and cinematic video use. Optically, the lens features one Ultra-Low Dispersion and two aspherical elements that effectively minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion for crisp, detailed results. Canon’s advanced optical treatments, including Air Sphere and Super Spectra technologies, maintain high contrast and accurate color by reducing flare and ghosting, while a fluorine layer on the outer elements helps repel moisture, dust, and fingerprints for easier cleaning. Constructed with a robust L-series body, the lens includes weather sealing for reliability in varied environments, along with intuitive controls such as a manual aperture ring, AF/MF switch, and customizable function button. With a 15.7" close focus distance and 67mm filter thread, the RF 50mm f/1.4 L VCM delivers a perfect balance of sharpness, smooth rendering, and versatility—ideal for professional creators seeking premium performance in a compact form.Manufacturer Items Include:Canon RF 50mm f/1.4 L VCM Lens (Canon RF)Canon ES-73 Lens Hood for RF 50mm f/1.4 L VCM LensCanon E-67 II Lens CapCanon LP1219 Soft Lens CaseCanon Lens Dust Cap RFBundle Items Include:Canon RF 50mm f/1.4 L VCM Lens (Canon RF)Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS RShoulder Bag64GB SDXC Memory Card
