RF 50mm F1.4L VCM
THE NATURAL HYBRID
With its natural perspective, the RF 50MM F1.4L VCM is ideal for portraits, reportage and video with a cinematic look.
A Nano USM and Voice Coil Motor deliver exceptional speed and near-silent operation while an f/1.4 aperture gives great depth-of-field control and low light prowess.
With hybrid features such as an Iris Ring, minimal focus breathing and smooth focusing alongside ASC and Super Spectra coating
for stunning image quality, it's one creative solution for photo and video.
The RF 50MM F1.4L VCM sits in the L-series Pro Lenses range as part of Canon's new hybrid lens lineup.
Exceptional stills and video performance with a natural look
A 50mm focal length offers a natural full frame perspective for photographers.
Filmmakers will appreciate minimal focus breathing and a separate Iris Ring1 that delivers smooth manual control.
An 11-blade aperture delivers beautiful circular highlights for a cinematic look.
A brilliant creative performance, even in low light
Keep on shooting when light levels drop thanks to an f/1.4 aperture for a bright image plus versatile depth-of-field control for optimal highlights.
The RF 50MM F1.4L VCM delivers exceptional detail, while its natural perspective makes it ideal for portraits and cinematic video
Speed and precision with incredible sharpness
Enjoy superb image quality thanks to two aspheric elements and a UD lens with Super Spectra and ASC coatings for incredible clarity.
A fast Nano USM combined with even faster Voice Coil Motor (VCM2) technology delivers rapid yet smooth, precise focusing for both stills and video.
Superb reliability with intuitive handling
Work tough in challenging conditions thanks to an L-series design3 housing high-quality glass elements.
A fluorine coating prevents dirt sticking to the front element while a dedicated Lens Control Ring and customisable Lens Function Button bring you personalised control.
A carefully considered, lightweight design
Be more agile when you're shooting. The RF 50MM F1.4L VCM is approximately 40 percent lighter than the RF 50mm F1.2L USM; and being part of the hybrid prime range, it's
ideal when swapping lenses on your video rig.
New Technology Explained
Iris Ring
Use the Iris Ring when shooting video for manual aperture control and enjoy a smoother, silent operation between stops
VCM (Voice Coil Motor)
Because of the lens' larger internal elements a VCM can move them faster, allowing spontaneous moments to be captured and smooth focus transitions to be
achieved when filming.
Lens Function Button (AF Stop Button)
The customisable Lens Function Button works by default as an AF stop button which temporarily pauses AF during Servo AF.
Feature:
- 50mm F1.4 hybrid prime lens: A wide perspective with a fast f/1.4 aperture
- Smooth action Iris Ring1: For intuitive manual filmmaking control
- 11-blade circular aperture: For artistic control of bokeh and highlights
- Aspheric and UD elements: For high image quality with maximum sharpness
- VCM and Nano USM motors: For smooth, fast and quiet autofocus, ideal for stills and video
- Custom button and Control ring: For easy customisation and control over camera settings
Note:
1 Iris ring is inactive for controlling aperture in still photo shooting when using the lens with EOS R system cameras released before May 2024.
2 Important: The Voice Coil Motor (VCM) in RF 24MM F1.4L VCM emits a low-level magnetic field.
While generally safe to use, we advise consulting your doctor if you have a pacemaker or any other medical device to address any concerns.
3 Although the lens features dust- and water-resistant construction, this cannot completely prevent dust or water droplets from entering the lens.
