Read Full Description

Crafted for optical excellence, the RF20mm F1.4 L VCM incorporates 15 elements in 11 groups, including one Super UD, two UD elements, and state-of-the-art BR optics (Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics). This sophisticated construction meticulously suppresses chromatic aberration, while Canon's advanced Air Sphere Coating (ASC) and Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) virtually eliminate ghosting and flare, even in challenging lighting conditions. The 11-blade aperture renders beautifully smooth bokeh, allowing for creative isolation and depth.

For videographers, the RF20mm F1.4 L VCM truly shines with its dedicated manual Iris ring, offering precise, tactile aperture control—a feature reminiscent of Canon's cinema lenses and now operational for stills on select new EOS R bodies. The Voice Coil Motor (VCM) ensures lightning-fast, near-silent autofocus, crucial for seamless video production and rapid-fire still capture. Built to L-series standards, its robust, weather-resistant construction guarantees reliable performance in harsh environments, while a user-programmable lens function button enhances operational fluidity. This lens is an indispensable tool for creators demanding uncompromised optical quality and versatility across all visual disciplines.
