The RF85mm F1.4 L VCM is a unique L-series lens for both still-image and video enthusiasts. It boasts a medium-telephoto focal length, a blazing fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and top-notch optical design. On a full-frame camera, it offers one of the most common focal lengths for portraits, a timeless choice. The video side really shines with a dedicated manual iris ring and a silent VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for smooth focus. And guess what? Focus breathing is minimal on this versatile lens.
- Compatible with most EOS Mirrorless Cameras: For use with your existing EOS R-Series Mirrorless Camera.
- Medium telephoto lens gets you closer to your subject: Allows you to capture intricately detailed images without getting too close to your subject. Concentrates the focus on a narrow field of view for vivid close-up shots.
- 85mm Focal Length: Beautifully isolates your subject from the background. This versatile focal length blends depth and dimension for stunning portraits, action shots and low-light images.
- f/1.4 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 with a front 67mm screw thread allows for screw-on filters. 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 one aspheric lenses, and ASC (Air Sphere Coating) to reduce ghosting.
- Time to focus on focusing: The RF85mm F1.4 L VCM is part of a series of “hybrid” lenses that focus on video performance as much as still photography.

- Excellent image quality: The RF85mm F1.4 L VCM lens offers great optical quality. Its optical design includes one UD lens and one aspheric lens 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.
- Let’s get moving on the conversation about videos!: This lens is part of a 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 these features, and you’ve got a great video lens in your hands.
- Get Close: With a minimum focus distance of just under 2.5 feet, an f/1.4 aperture, and a uniquely portrait look you can capture some really compelling imagery that is sure to capture attention.
