Canon RF 85mm f1.4 L VCM Lens

Key Features

• Hybrid Stills and Cinema Engineering: Specifically unified in size and form factor with Canon’s f/1.4 hybrid prime family to allow for effortless balance corrections when swapping lenses on motorized gimbals.
• Linear Voice Coil Motor (VCM) System: Combines a high-thrust VCM rear-focus drive with a Nano USM to achieve blazing-fast, quiet, and reliable tracking autofocus while actively suppressing optical focus breathing.
• De-Clickable Dedicated Iris Ring: Features a physical manual aperture ring that permits smooth, click-free exposure transitions during live video capture.
• L-Series Optical Brilliance: Implements an advanced 14-element layout that includes Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) and precision-molded glass aspherical elements to drastically correct color fringing and distortions.
• Cinematic 11-Blade Circular Aperture: Outperforms standard lenses by utilizing an 11-blade diaphragm to deliver exceptionally soft, rounded, and buttery background bokeh.
• Air Sphere & Super Spectra Coatings: Infused with ASC and SSC coatings to eliminate internal glass reflections, ensuring outstanding flare resistance and clean contrast in heavy backlit conditions.
• Tactile Physical Customization: Equipped with an electronic programmable control ring, a dedicated Lens Function (L-Fn) shortcut button, and a physical AF/MF toggle switch directly on the barrel.
• Rugged, Weather-Sealed Build: Built with robust L-series build quality, featuring extensive dust- and moisture-resistant sealing at all moving joints for reliable field performance.
• Fluorine Front & Rear Coatings: Applied to the outer glass elements to actively repel oils, water droplets, and smudges, allowing for effortless maintenance.
• Compact Half-Weight Profile: Weighing a highly portable 636 grams, it offers around half the physical mass of the massive RF 85mm f/1.2L USM, saving stress on hands and camera rigs.
