The RF35mm F1.4 L VCM is an entirely new L-series lens, targeting a wide range of still-image and video shooters, with a combination of very moderate wide-angle coverage, a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and excellent optical design. On a full frame camera this lens gives you a slightly wide-angle look which has for decades been used in photojournalism and street photography, and has become a very popular wedding shoot look. On the video side, this lens really shines with a dedicated manual Iris ring, and a new linear focus motor called a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that is virtually silent. The VCM works in tandem with a Nano USM on the floating focus unit for incredibly fast autofocus. And finally, focus breathing is barely noticeable on this incredibly versatile lens.

These VCM lenses are the new hybrid lens. I also own the RF50 VCM lens. Canon is giving us L quality glass at a reasonable price point. I use this lens for more photojournalism style and portraits were I want the environment to help with the story. Shooting at 1.4 wide open, you can still see the surroundings well. There is distortion correction going on in this lens and it might not be for everyone. I chose it over other 35s for fast focusing and also videography.

I pair the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 VCM with my Canon R5 Mark II, and the results are simply amazing. The image quality is exceptional—sharp, clear, and free from chromatic aberration even at wide apertures. There’s no noticeable vignetting at f/1.4, and the lens maintains consistent exposure across the frame. Although it's marketed as a hybrid lens, and many reviewers say it’s geared towards video, I’ve been using it for still photography for the past two months and can confidently say it delivers excellent results. The 35mm focal length is incredibly versatile, whether I'm shooting portraits, landscapes, or street photography. The f/1.4 aperture provides great subject isolation and a smooth, pleasing bokeh. The build quality is impressive—solid, durable, and well-crafted. The new focus rings feel smooth and precise, and the customizable rings and buttons are a welcome feature, allowing me to tailor the lens to my preferences. The only downside is the shaking sound during autofocus. It’s not always noticeable, but in quiet environments, it can be a bit distracting. Overall, the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 VCM paired with the R5 Mark II delivers crisp, vibrant images, a versatile focal length, and excellent build quality. Despite its video focus, it performs beautifully for stills as well. The autofocus noise is the only downside, but it doesn’t overshadow the performance. A fantastic combination for serious photographers.
