Features
  • Compatible with most Canon EOS R-Series Mirrorless cameras

    For use with your existing camera.

  • Wide-angle lens for broad composition

    Delivers stunning perspectives and allows you to include more of the scene in the frame.

  • 35mm focal length

    Excellent for shooting landscapes, architecture, group shots, travel shots and more.

  • F1.4 maximum aperture

    Wide-open aperture performs exceptionally well in low-light settings. Provides remarkable depth-of-field control, so you can softly blur the background and draw attention to your subject.

  • Incredible feature set from an incredible lens

    This lens has a lot going for it. You already know about the new VCM and Iris control ring, but there is so much more. You can attach filters to this lens in two ways, a front 67mm screw thread allows for screw-on filters, and in the back of the lens is a cut gel filter holder (bundled).

  • You also have a control ring and a control button both of which you can assign functions to. This lens is also dust and weather resistant, has two aspheric lenses, and ASC (Air Sphere Coating) to reduce ghosting.

  • Time to focus on focusing

    The RF35mm F1.4 L VCM is part of a series of “hybrid” lenses that focus on video performance as much as still photography. One of these new features is a change to how the focus system works. There is a Nano USM that controls the floating focus unit, and a new VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that powers the rear focus unit.

  • These focus motors work in tandem for incredible speed in near silence. One important note about the VCM is that it requires power to hold its position, so when the camera is off, or the lens is not attached to a camera, you may hear and feel slight movement. This is normal, and there is extra cushioning inside the lens to help prevent damage in this situation.

  • Excellent image quality

    Again, thanks to the Canon RF lens mount, the RF35mm F1.4 L VCM lens offers great optical quality. Its optical design includes two UD lenses and two aspheric lenses as well as Air Sphere Coating (ASC) to reduce ghosting, and Fluorine coating on the front and rear lens surfaces to help mitigate smudges.

  • On top of that, this lens features the same dust- and water-resistance found on L-series lenses with seals around the Control ring, focus ring, zoom ring, operation panel, and lens mount.

  • It's showtime!

    This lens is part of a new family of “hybrid” lenses that focus on video creation as much as still photography. To that end, this lens features a manual iris control ring so you can smoothly change the aperture from f/1.4 to f/16 during video capture. Thanks to advancements in lens design, focus breathing on this lens is extremely minimal, and backlit images are sharp. Combine all of these features, and you’ve got a great video lens in your hands.

  • Get close

    With a minimum focus distance of just under 11 inches , and an f/1.4 aperture you can capture some really compelling imagery that is unlike anything else.

  • Image stabilization

    7.0 stops of hand-held shake correction without coordinated control by EOS R3.

  • Aperture blades

    11 aperture blades

    Sharp, Fast, and Professional Lens

    Great lens with excellent image quality and fast autofocus. The build feels solid and professional. Sharp results even in low light, beautiful background blur. A bit heavy, but overall very happy with this purchase from Best Buy.

    Versatile Performer for Both Stills and Video

    I pair the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 VCM with my Canon R5 Mark II, and the results are simply amazing. The image quality is exceptional—sharp, clear, and free from chromatic aberration even at wide apertures. There’s no noticeable vignetting at f/1.4, and the lens maintains consistent exposure across the frame. Although it's marketed as a hybrid lens, and many reviewers say it’s geared towards video, I’ve been using it for still photography for the past two months and can confidently say it delivers excellent results. The 35mm focal length is incredibly versatile, whether I'm shooting portraits, landscapes, or street photography. The f/1.4 aperture provides great subject isolation and a smooth, pleasing bokeh. The build quality is impressive—solid, durable, and well-crafted. The new focus rings feel smooth and precise, and the customizable rings and buttons are a welcome feature, allowing me to tailor the lens to my preferences. The only downside is the shaking sound during autofocus. It’s not always noticeable, but in quiet environments, it can be a bit distracting. Overall, the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 VCM paired with the R5 Mark II delivers crisp, vibrant images, a versatile focal length, and excellent build quality. Despite its video focus, it performs beautifully for stills as well. The autofocus noise is the only downside, but it doesn’t overshadow the performance. A fantastic combination for serious photographers.

    Canon RF 35mm F1.4 VCM lens

    This is a fun lens for travel and just carrying around. It’s F1.4 capability helps this lens focus in low light situations and the jpegs look great! I don’t use this lens for anything that requires me to shoot RAW files… hopefully a RF 35mm F1.2 will be announced in the future (optically correct for RAW file use).

    Good Price Point for L Glass and Hybrid Lens

    These VCM lenses are the new hybrid lens. I also own the RF50 VCM lens. Canon is giving us L quality glass at a reasonable price point. I use this lens for more photojournalism style and portraits were I want the environment to help with the story. Shooting at 1.4 wide open, you can still see the surroundings well. There is distortion correction going on in this lens and it might not be for everyone. I chose it over other 35s for fast focusing and also videography.

The RF35mm F1.4 L VCM is an entirely new L-series lens, targeting a wide range of still-image and video shooters, with a combination of very moderate wide-angle coverage, a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and excellent optical design.

On the video side, this lens really shines with a dedicated manual Iris ring, and a new linear focus motor called a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that is virtually silent. The VCM works in tandem with a Nano USM on the floating focus unit for incredibly fast autofocus. And finally, focus breathing is barely noticeable on this incredibly versatile lens.
