BRIGHTER STORIES: ULTRA-WIDE LENS FOR HYBRID CREATORS!
The Canon RF 20mm F1.4L VCM is the First Ultra-wide L-series Lens in Canon’s Professional Hybrid Lens Family, designed for landscapes, architecture and Video.
The Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM is a Fast Ultra-wide-angle Prime Lens with a function-first build that caters to the Hybrid Nature of Modern Image-making, emphasizing High Image Quality, Responsive AF, Minimized Focus Breathing, and Intuitive, Silent, and Customizable Handling.
Optimized for Photo
Suiting nature, landscape, architecture, interior, and Street Photography applications, this Ultra-wide Prime offers a Huge Angle of View that enables making strong, dynamic compositions with an exaggerated sense of space and foreground.
- Impressively Fast f/1.4 Maximum Aperture affords control over Depth of Field and also greatly benefits Low-light Shooting, making this an ideal Lens for Astrophotography applications.
- Optical Design includes Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) and Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics (BR) Elements to reduce chromatic aberrations for impressive clarity and colour accuracy.
- Air Sphere (ASC) and Subwavelength Structure (SWC) Coatings reduce flare and ghosting for improved contrast.
- Contrasting the Ultra-wide Field of View, this Lens also excels with Close-up Subjects thanks to a 7.9″ Minimum Focusing Distance and 0.19x Maximum Magnification.
- Rounded 11-Blade Diaphragm creates a Smooth, Rounded Out-of-Focus rendering.
Optimized for Video
When used for Video applications, the Lens’s Ultra-wide Field of View and Close-focusing Design can be paired with motion to create especially dynamic scenes.
- Manual Aperture Ring with de-click switch to make smooth, silent iris pulls.
- Focus Breathing is especially well-controlled, helping to maintain a consistent composition and Field of View when racking Focus.
- Linear Focus Motor for intuitive Manual Focus Control.
- Matched design with other Hybrid Series Primes; all Lenses have the same 67mm Front Filter Ring and general size for ease in rigging and working with multiple Lenses on a shoot.
VCM and Nano USM Autofocus
The Focusing System has also been tuned to suit both Photo and Video tasks, offering a useful mixture of speed and control.
- Nano Ultrasonic Motor (USM) is used to control a floating Focusing system while a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) adjusts a rear Focusing Group; together, these two systems offer an ideal mixture of speed and quiet performance that is especially beneficial to Video Recording.
- Floating Focus Design also helps to maintain consistent image quality throughout the Focusing Range, from 7.9″ to infinity.
- AF/MF Switch and Full-time Manual Focus Override for Intuitive Focus Control when needed.
Design Details
Despite being a Fast Ultra-wide Lens, this 20mm f/1.4 remains relatively compact and lightweight for regular use.
Its design and size is matched to the other Hybrid Lenses and is built for everyday use for a wide range of shooting applications.
- Effectively the same dimensions (3 x 3.9″) and weight (1.1 lb) as other Hybrid Series Prime Lenses; these Lenses also share a 67mm Front Filter Ring Diameter.
- Included Filter Holder attaches to the rear of the Lens and accepts Pre-cut Gel Filters; this is ideal for scenarios when more than one Filter might be needed or if one Filter will be used for a sustained amount of time.
- In addition to the Manual Aperture Ring, this Lens has a customizable Control Ring and Function Button, which can be programmed to control a range of shooting settings.
- L-Series Level Durability and weather resistance for working in inclement conditions.
Note:
It is recommended to use in-Camera Lens Profiles or Post-production Lens Corrections in order to achieve optimal results when working with this Lens.
