Description
The Canon RF 35mm f1.4 L VCM is an ultra high speed full-frame prime lens. The lens features a maximum aperture of f/1.4. The Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 lens delivers exceptional sharpness, even at wide apertures. It features a newly developed optical design, which reduces chromatic aberration and distortion, ensuring crisp, clear images. The 9-blade circular aperture produces beautiful, creamy bokeh, making it ideal for portraiture, close-ups, and cinematic shots.
Thanks to Canon’s Nano USM (Ultra Sonic Motor), autofocus is both fast and quiet, making this lens perfect for video work. It tracks moving subjects smoothly, while also remaining almost inaudible. This makes it especially useful for DOPs working with on-camera microphones or in quiet environments.
Vibration Compensation (VCM)
A standout feature for handheld shooting is the built-in Vibration Compensation Mechanism (VCM). This stabilisation system helps reduce camera shake, allowing you to capture steady footage even in low-light conditions or when shooting with slower shutter speeds. It enhances overall control and stability, giving DOPs more freedom in dynamic shooting situations.
