About this product
The Canon RF 85mm f/1.4 L VCM is a fast, hybrid-focused short-telephoto prime built to deliver outstanding performance for both photographers and videographers. Its versatile 85mm focal length offers a flattering perspective for portraits, events, lifestyle work, and selective framing, while the bright f/1.4 aperture enables shallow depth of field, smooth background separation, and confident low-light shooting. An advanced optical design incorporates a UD element and an aspherical element to suppress chromatic and spherical aberrations, supported by ASC and SWC coatings that reduce flare and ghosting for crisp contrast and accurate color. The rounded 11-blade diaphragm enhances bokeh smoothness, giving subjects a refined, polished look. For video creators, the lens features a de-clickable manual aperture ring for silent iris adjustments, minimized focus breathing for consistent compositions, and a linear manual focus motor for intuitive response. Autofocus is driven by a fast, quiet Voice Coil Motor optimized for hybrid work, while full-time manual override supports precise control when needed. Matching Canon’s Hybrid series primes in size, weight, and 67mm filter threading, the lens integrates easily into multi-lens setups. Additional features include a customizable Control Ring, a programmable Function Button, robust L-series weather sealing, and a compact build suited for everyday professional use.Manufacturer Items Include:Canon RF 85mm f/1.4 L VCM Lens (Canon RF)Canon E-67 II Lens CapCanon Lens Dust Cap RFCanon ET-73C Lens Hood for RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM LensCanon LP1219 Soft Lens CaseBundle Items Include:Canon RF 85mm f/1.4 L VCM Lens (Canon RF)Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R64GB Memory CardCamera Bag
