Exceptional stills and video performance with a natural look
A 50mm focal length offers a natural full frame perspective for photographers. Filmmakers will appreciate minimal focus breathing and a separate Iris Ring1 that delivers smooth manual control. An 11-blade aperture delivers beautiful circular highlights for a cinematic look.
A brilliant creative performance, even in low light
Keep on shooting when light levels drop thanks to an f/1.4 aperture for a bright image plus versatile depth-of-field control for optimal highlights. The RF 50mm F1.4L VCM delivers exceptional detail, while its natural perspective makes it ideal for portraits and cinematic video.
Speed and precision with incredible sharpness
Enjoy superb image quality thanks to two aspheric elements and a UD lens with Super Spectra and ASC coatings for incredible clarity. A fast Nano USM combined with even faster Voice Coil Motor (VCM2) technology delivers rapid yet smooth, precise focusing for both stills and video.
Superb reliability with intuitive handling
Work tough in challenging conditions thanks to an L-series design3 housing high-quality glass elements. A fluorine coating prevents dirt sticking to the front element while a dedicated Lens Control Ring and customisable Lens Function Button bring you personalised control.
A carefully considered, lightweight design
Be more agile when you’re shooting. The RF 50mm F1.4L VCM is approximately 40 percent lighter than the RF 50mm F1.2L USM; and being part of the hybrid prime range, it’s ideal when swapping lenses on your video rig.
