Purchased lens about a month ago and have taken landscape and city pictures and really enjoy the lens. Optically very good corner to corner (using automatic corrections) and from wide open at f1.4, focuses quickly, light weight on camera (well balanced). All around excellent.

Purchased lens about a month ago and have taken landscape and city pictures and really enjoy the lens. Optically very good corner to corner (using automatic corrections) and from wide open at f1.4, focuses quickly, light weight on camera (well balanced). All around excellent.
The RF20mm F1.4 L VCM is an entirely different L-series lens, targeting a wide range of still-image and video shooters, with a combination of strong wide-angle coverage, a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and excellent optical design.
On a full frame camera this lens gives you a vivid wide-angle look which has for decades been used in landscape, street photography, architectural photography, and strong commercial imagery. On the video side, this lens really shines with a dedicated manual Iris ring, and a linear focus motor called a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that is virtually silent.
The RF20mm F1.4 L VCM is part of a series of "hybrid" lenses that focus on video performance as much as still photography. One of these features is a change to how the focus system works. There is a Nano USM that controls the floating focus unit, and a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that powers the primary rear focus unit. These focus motors are coordinated and work in tandem for incredible speed in near silence.
Thanks to the Canon RF lens mount, the RF20mm F1.4 L VCM lens offers great optical quality. Its optical design includes one Super UD element, two UD elements, and even BR optics (Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics) to minimize chromatic aberration. On top of that, this lens features the same dust- and water-resistance found on L-series lenses with seals around the Control ring, focus ring, zoom ring, operation panel, and lens mount.
RF20mm F1.4 L VCM lens features a manual iris control ring so you can smoothly change the aperture from f/1.4 to f/16 during video capture. Thanks to advancements in lens design, focus breathing on this lens is extremely minimal, and backlit images are sharp.
With a minimum focus distance of just under 7.9 inches, an f/1.4 maximum aperture, and a uniquely wide look you can capture some really compelling imagery that is sure to capture attention.
