Canon RF 20mm F1.4L VCM Lens

Canon RF 20mm f1.4L VCM Lens

The Canon RF 16mm f2.8 STM Lens is the widest in Canon’s lens range for professional hybrid creators. Designed to be equal in performance whether shooting 8K video or highly detailed 45MP images, this lens delivers high-impact imagery for bigger, bolder stories.

For the Hybrid Professional

The RF 20mm f1.4L is designed specifically to keep up with the demands of professional creators. It is the same size and shape as the other lenses currently in the VCM range to make switching focal ranges a quicker and simpler process, particularly when using gimbals and video rigs.

Using the Canon hybrid lens selection also guarantees a consistent look and image quality for seamless editing and final results.

Widest in the Range

At 20mm, this is currently the widest hybrid lens available from Canon*. The dynamic 94º diagonal angle of view makes it perfect for astrophotography, expansive landscapes and dynamic architectural content. Combined with the bright f1.4 11-blade aperture and close focus distance of 0.2 metres, this lens can truly capture everything in front of the camera.

VCM – Voice Coiled Motor

The Voice Coil Motor (VCM) is a fast, reactive focusing mechanism that responds quickly to spontaneous movements within the frame to ensure focus is never lost during the filming process.

Incorporates the Best of Both Worlds

The structure of the RF 20mm f1.4L takes elements from both professional filmmaking and photographic lenses. It features a smooth action iris ring for making gradual increases while filming and a custom button and control ring for making the kit work better for you.

Durable Build

Built to L-series quality with weather sealing and a fluorine coating on the front element, this lens is a hybrid prime that’s ready to master the wide-open world.
