Canon RF 85mm F1.4L VCM: A Portrait Classic, Reinvented

The Canon RF 85mm F1.4L VCM redefines the art of portraiture with a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and timeless optical design. Part of Canon’s L-series hybrid prime lens lineup, it’s crafted for photographers and videographers who demand exceptional image quality, intuitive handling, and flawless performance across stills and video.

Every Portrait Becomes a Masterpiece:
The flattering 85mm focal length and fast f/1.4 maximum aperture deliver stunning subject separation, creamy bokeh, and brilliant low-light performance. With a precision-engineered optical design including aspherical and UD glass elements plus advanced coatings, this lens ensures crystal-clear portraits with rich tones and soft, cinematic backdrops.

Compact and Lightweight for Everyday Shooting:
At nearly half the size and weight of the RF 85mm F1.2L USM, the RF 85mm F1.4L VCM is designed for effortless portability. Its lightweight build and uniform design, consistent with the RF F1.4 hybrid prime range, make it a natural fit for event photography, weddings, or on-the-go portrait sessions.

Creative Freedom in Any Light:
With its ultra-wide f/1.4 aperture and 11-blade circular iris, this lens empowers photographers and filmmakers to explore new levels of artistic depth. Whether capturing portraits in golden-hour glow or shooting video in challenging low-light scenes, the RF 85mm F1.4L VCM delivers beautifully smooth, cinematic rendering.

Precision Autofocus for Stills and Video:
Equipped with Canon’s advanced Voice Coil Motor (VCM) AF drive, the lens offers lightning-fast autofocus and smooth, controlled focus pulls for video. Minimal focus breathing ensures a natural, cinematic look, while reliable tracking lets you capture spontaneous moments with ease.

Fluid Control for Hybrid Shooters:
Tailor the lens to your workflow with customizable controls, including a Lens Control Ring, Lens Function Button, and a dedicated Iris Ring for smooth aperture adjustment during video shoots (supported on select cameras). This flexibility makes the lens equally powerful for still photographers and filmmakers.

The Canon RF 85mm F1.4L VCM is more than just a portrait lens—it’s a modern classic, engineered for creators who need speed, reliability, and uncompromising image quality in a sleek, portable design.
