Whether capturing the vibrancy of a bustling street or the intimate moments of a wedding, the RF 35mm f/1.4 L VCM lens is your gateway to exceptional visual storytelling.

Impressed with the size weight and aperture of this lens as well as the sharpness of the images even at f1.4. It's use for both video and photo is what drew me to this lens and so far it has delivered in both aspects.

Great hybrid lens, look forward to adding more VCM lenses to my kit.

I love this lens. It's company, yet I get great quality pictures and videos. I have it paired up with my R5c camera and DJI Ronin 3 Pro

Fantastic Lens

Extremely lightweight with fantastic image quality. If you shoot c-raw, all the distortion is corrected. Don't listen to everyone complaining and moaning. It's not quite on par with the EF 35 ii optically, but it comes with a MASSIVE weight and cost savings, especially once you factor in the adapter for the EF version.

Such a joy to use. 10/10 I love this lens.

Its about time Canon releases new L prime lenses like this one. But it was worth it: It has a very beautiful character and bokeh, and it is very sharp. AF super fast, accurate and silent. 

It comes with few cons: some aberration and distortion, which can be both corrected easily.

Ignore bad reviews!

The speed of the autofocus on this new lens is simply cheetah-like in comparison to the EF 35mm f/1.4 L II version, which until now was one of my favorite and most frequently used lenses. That lens now seems like the inevitable victim of prey which is about to meet its demise because of its sluggishness upon comparison.
It's also slightly sharper than the EF 35mm f/1.4 L II, significantly lighter in weight, and of course much more convenient as there is no longer a need for an adapter. To my pleasant surprise, the design and material texture of this new lens is also more striking than I expected. Overall, it gives the tangible feel of a significant upgrade that justifies the cost.

Cheetah vs. Gazelle

This was an incredible letdown. I had been waiting for just this exact lens for so long. I received it and loved the size and weight. The loose, clunking elements annoyed me some, but when poor quality of the standalone, uncorrected photos, I heart sank. I returned it the very next day. This is the worst L glass on the RF mount by far. Sad day. Shame on canon.

Instantly Returned

Absolutely remarkable lens from Canon. As a full-time wedding photographer who primarily shoots with primes (35mm, 50mm, 85mm), I have eagerly awaited this lens since Canon introduced their Mirrorless body offerings.

I absolutely adore the RF 50mm 1.2 and the 85mm 1.2. They are truly amazing lenses, and the RF 35mm 1.4 is an exceptional addition to the trio.

The image quality of the new 35mm is outstanding in every way, from the sharpness at both the center and edges to the natural color rendition. However, what I appreciate most is the weight reduction of this lens. As I approach 40, carrying heavy lenses for a 10-hour wedding day has become quite a chore. While 2 pounds for a lens might not seem significant, it really is when you're holding that, along with an R3 and a speedlite, to your face for 10 hours. I have always envied my friends with Sony lenses because they are lighter, but now with Canon's lighter offerings, I am thrilled. The iconic Canon colors and glass, is something I and many others have loved for years, but now with the additional weight savings that love grows stronger. These lighter lenses not only reduce fatigue throughout the day but also allow me to position my camera in ways that were previously impossible due to ligament and joint strain.

And Canon, if you happen to read this, please, please, please release lighter L lenses in 50mm and 85mm. As a wedding professional, I would much rather take a light 1.4 over a heavy 1.2 any day. Keep up the great work!
