Product Description

Canon RF 50mm F1.4L VCM Lens – The Perfect Blend for Photography and Cinematic Video

The Canon RF 50mm F1.4L VCM is a hybrid prime lens designed to deliver a natural look for both photography and video. With its versatile 50mm focal length and fast f/1.4 aperture, it captures stunning portraits, reportage shots, and cinematic video footage with ease. This lens offers incredible speed and silent operation thanks to a combination of Canon’s Nano USM and Voice Coil Motor (VCM) technologies, making it ideal for creative professionals who need both precision and flexibility. Part of Canon’s high-quality L-series, this lens provides an array of features for detailed, vibrant, and cinematic visuals.

Enhanced Image Quality and Low-Light Performance

The RF 50mm F1.4L VCM’s wide f/1.4 aperture allows you to capture clear, bright images even in challenging low-light conditions. The lens’s 11-blade circular aperture provides beautiful, soft bokeh for portraits, while its depth-of-field control is perfect for creating subject separation and dramatic effects in both stills and video. The lens construction includes two aspheric elements and a UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) element to reduce aberrations, while Canon’s Super Spectra and ASC coatings ensure that images are sharp and vibrant with minimal ghosting or flare.

Hybrid Focus Control for Filmmaking and Photography

Canon’s unique Iris Ring allows smooth, silent manual aperture adjustments, making it ideal for video work where seamless exposure transitions are essential. Minimal focus breathing ensures stable, professional-looking footage, making the RF 50mm F1.4L VCM well-suited to filmmakers looking for a lens that captures natural, consistent framing as they adjust focus. Combined with an 11-blade circular aperture, the result is cinematic highlights and backgrounds that bring creative visuals to life.

Precision Autofocus and Intuitive Controls

Equipped with both a Nano USM motor and Voice Coil Motor (VCM) technology, the RF 50mm F1.4L VCM provides fast, precise, and quiet autofocus for both stills and video. Canon’s VCM allows for smoother focus transitions and the ability to capture spontaneous moments effortlessly. A dedicated Lens Control Ring and customizable Lens Function Button add to the lens’s versatility, allowing photographers and videographers to adjust key settings quickly and efficiently.

Lightweight, Durable, and Weather-Sealed

Constructed with Canon’s signature L-series build quality, this lens is designed for professional use in tough conditions. A fluorine coating on the front element protects against dirt, while the lens’s lightweight design—approximately 40% lighter than its RF 50mm F1.2L counterpart—makes it a comfortable, agile option for extended shoots. This compact design is especially suited for hybrid shooters and filmmakers needing easy lens swapping during production.
