A Prime Lens Designed for Modern Creators
The Canon RF 85mm f/1.4 L VCM is a versatile short-telephoto prime crafted for today’s hybrid image-makers. Whether you’re shooting stills or video, it combines optical excellence with responsive autofocus, reduced focus breathing, and intuitive handling, all within a durable L-series design.
Exceptional Performance for Stills
Ideal for portraits, weddings, events, and even landscapes, the 85mm focal length delivers flattering compression and natural perspective. The bright f/1.4 aperture excels in low-light conditions and offers outstanding subject separation. Advanced optics, including one UD and one aspherical element, ensure sharp, colour-accurate results, while Canon’s ASC and SWC coatings effectively suppress flare and ghosting. An 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a beautifully smooth background blur.
Purpose-Built for Video
For videographers, this lens offers refined control and consistency. A manual aperture ring with a de-click option allows seamless iris pulls, and focus breathing is carefully minimised for stable framing. A linear focus motor enhances manual focus precision, and a uniform 67mm filter thread across the Hybrid series makes switching lenses on set straightforward.
Fast, Quiet Autofocus with VCM Technology
Powered by Canon’s Voice Coil Motor, the autofocus system is quick, accurate, and whisper-quiet — a distinct advantage for both video and stills. Full-time manual focus override adds flexibility, while a close-focusing capability of 2.5 feet and 0.12x magnification support creative detail work.
Built for Everyday Professional Use
Despite its wide aperture, the RF 85mm f/1.4 is compact and well-balanced, making it practical for long shooting days. Its L-series build quality and weather-resistant construction ensure reliability in demanding conditions, while its design aligns seamlessly with Canon’s broader Hybrid lens range for consistent performance across projects.
