About Canon 85MM F/1.4 L VCM
FEATURED REVIEWS
Really good addition to the VCM lens lineup
This lens is a good addition to Canon's VCM line of hybrid lenses. It is good for portrait and tighter, more discrete street photography. The f1.4 aperture gives good subject separation without the size and weight of the more expensive RF 85mm f1.2 lens.
The RF85mm F1.4 L VCM is a unique L-series lens for both still-image and video enthusiasts. It boasts a medium-telephoto focal length, a blazing fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and top-notch optical design.
Portrait-friendly focal length
The classic 85mm focal length is a favorite among professionals for headshots, fashion, and lifestyle imagery.
Bright f/1.4 aperture
Shoot wide open to create shallow depth of field, isolate subjects, and capture handheld in low light. The f/1.4 aperture also delivers smooth and creamy bokeh.
Silent Voice Coil Motor autofocus
Focus quickly and quietly with Canon’s VCM system. The motor drives focus elements at high speed with near-silent operation, making the lens equally suited for video and stills.
Manual iris control ring
Adjust exposure smoothly while recording. The iris ring lets videographers transition from f/1.4 to f/16 without visible steps, ensuring cinematic aperture changes.
Minimal focus breathing
Maintain stable framing during pulls. The RF 85mm f/1.4 L VCM minimizes focus breathing, keeping video shots consistent and natural.
Advanced optical design
Count on crisp, clear results. The lens includes one UD and one aspherical element to reduce aberrations, plus Canon’s Air Sphere Coating (ASC) to cut ghosting and flare.
Fluorine-coated elements
Your Canon lens will be protected against smudges, dust, and fingerprints. Fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements simplify cleaning and keep images clear.
L-series durability
The Canon RF 85mm f/1.4 L VCM lens features weather sealing around the control ring, focus ring, zoom ring, operation panel, and mount to resist dust and moisture.
Close focusing
Work as close as 0.75 m or 2.5 ft for detailed portraits and compelling subject isolation. Combined with the fast aperture, this close focus distance enhances creative options.
Assignable controls
Customize this new RF lens to your workflow. A programmable control ring and control button allow quick access to key functions without leaving the viewfinder.
Filter compatibility
Attach 67mm screw-on filters easily. The standard thread supports polarizers, NDs, and specialty filters for creative flexibility.
