Description
The Canon RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM is a professional ultra-wide hybrid prime lens launched in early February 2026, designed for both high-end photography and video production.
This lens is part of Canon’s Hybrid Prime series, sharing a consistent design with other VCM lenses like the 35mm and 50mm f/1.4L to allow for seamless gear swapping.
- Aperture & Field of View: Features a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture and a massive 114° diagonal field of view.
- Dual Focus System: Utilises a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) for fast, near-silent autofocus, making it ideal for video work where noise must be minimised.
- Optics: Includes 18 elements in 13 groups, featuring Fluorite, Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD), and Blue Spectrum Refractive (BR) elements to combat chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare.
- Filter Support: Due to its bulbous front element, it does not have a front filter thread; it instead uses a rear-mounted gelatin filter holder.
- Build: An L-series lens with weather-resistant sealing and a dedicated manual iris ring for smooth aperture control in video.
- Weight: Despite its complex optics, it is relatively lightweight at approximately 578g.
