Canon RF 14mm F1.4L VCM

The Canon RF 14mm F1.4L VCM is the fastest and widest "Canon" ultra-wide-angle lens, designed for both stills and video. Its 14mm focal length combined with a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture provides excellent performance in low light conditions and beautiful depth of field control. The optical design includes specialized elements such as fluorite, ultra-low dispersion coefficient, BR (blue spectrum refraction) and aspherical elements to reduce chromatic aberration, distortion and flare, ensuring sharp, clear images across the entire frame.

As part of the "Canon" hybrid lens series, it features features such as a de-clickable aperture ring, customizable control ring, and function button. The lens is built to L-series standards, with a robust weather seal, and a rear gelatin filter holder to support creative workflows.
