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.
