Featuring an ultra-fast F1.4 aperture, this groundbreaking lens delivers exceptional low-light performance and stunning shallow depth of field, making it perfect for dramatic stills and cinematic visuals. Its lightweight, fixed aperture design ensures smooth handling and balance, while the advanced Voice Coil Motor (VCM) provides lightning-fast, whisper-quiet autofocus for seamless shooting. For filmmakers, a dedicated iris ring offers precise manual control over exposure, giving you the creative flexibility to capture every moment exactly as you envision. This is the lens that redefines wide-angle brilliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat More Could You Ask For in a Lens?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lens has a lot going for it already being the brightest ultra-wide-angle lens that Canon has made, but that is just the beginning. This lens is part of a “f\/1.4 L Series” family of lenses that revolve around useful features like an iris ring that makes them exceptional for both still photography and video creation. The quality and construction is top notch with an Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) element to minimize chromatic aberration, and 3 GMo aspheric lenses for sharpness around the edges. Subwavelength Structure Coating (SSC) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC) reduce ghosting and flare. The lenses in this f\/1.4 L Series family share the same basic dimensions and weight to make it easy to work with multiple prime lenses without having to change your whole setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncredible clarity, even in the corners!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ultra wide angle lens delivers remarkable sharpness from edge to edge, with exceptional clarity even in the corners of every frame. This performance is made possible by the use of premium optical elements and a design that fully leverages the large diameter mount and short back focus distance. By optimally arranging a variety of advanced optical materials, the lens effectively suppresses chromatic and spherical aberrations, ensuring crisp, high resolution imagery across the entire image field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFocus on Focus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RF14mm F1.4 L VCM Lens features a unique focusing system. There is a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that powers the primary rear focus unit that is incredibly fast, accurate and quiet (great for video). One important note about the VCM is that it requires power to hold its position, so when the camera is off, or the lens is not attached to a camera, you may hear and feel slight movement. This is normal, and there is extra cushioning inside the lens to help prevent damage in this situation. A hallmark of the Canon hybrid lenses, focus breathing ensures that a lens maintains a consistent field of view while racking focus, preventing the distracting “zoom like” effect that can occur as focus shifts. This stability is especially valuable for video work, where smooth, natural focus transitions help maintain visual continuity and keep the viewer’s attention on the subject. For photographers, reduced breathing also improves composition accuracy, making it easier to frame precisely without the image subtly changing size as focus is adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop improvements vs. previous Canon EF-mount ultra-wide lenses \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptical design and performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImproved sharpness, especially at the edges and corners. Great reduction in chromatic and other aberrations. Significant reductions in lens flare, in strong back-lit scenes. A total re-design of the 14mm lens brings all these to EOS R-series users. Canon’s L-series optical technologies are showcased here, with multiple types of specialized lens elements, including one Canon’s BR (Blue spectrum Refractive) optics and the first-ever application of a Fluorite lens element in a Canon ultra wide-angle lens. And two distinct types of Canon-developed lens coating technologies — Canon’s Air Sphere Coating (ASC) and Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) — are keys to reducing flare and ghosting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra wide-angle coverage and a fast F1.4 lens aperture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo stops faster than Canon’s previous EF-mount 14mm F2.8 L II USM lens — and likewise, two stops faster than F2.8 zoom lenses — the RF14mm F2.8 L VCM lens opens new doors to critical still-image and video users. Its ultra-wide coverage makes it ideal for dramatic creative imagery, as well as for subjects ranging from interiors and landscapes to music video productions. And with its maximum F1.4 lens aperture, this lens becomes ideal for low-light work, up to and including starscapes. The combination of such wide-angle coverage with a wide F1.4 lens aperture is an optical mountain for lens designers, but Canon’s engineers have graced the 14mm F1.4 L VCM lens with incredible performance. And that can equal incredible opportunities for visual creators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptics optimized for starscapes and astrophotography\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA specific design goal of the RF14mm F1.4 VCM lens was superb performance in the challenging environment of starscape photography — where even the slightest aberrations at wide apertures can be immediately noticeable by critical users in finished, high-resolution images. The above-mentioned specialized optics combine for what may be Canon’s finest lens to date for starscape imagery — and a huge improvement in astrophotography image quality, vs. the previous EF 14mm F2.8 L II design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA new member of Canon’s VCM lens series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RF14mm F1.4 L VCM lens, as the name suggests, is another member of Canon’s VCM lens series. This is truly a hybrid lens series — each VCM lens has consistent length and width*, and consistent placement of manual focus rings. This consistency simplifies lens changes for video users working with rigs or other support devices. And, it features a manually-adjustable Iris Ring, allowing critical video users smooth manual aperture adjustments if desired. Excellent control of “focus breathing” is another big part of the optical design. But to be clear: any of the VCM lenses, including the 14mm F1.4, are spectacular for still-image work, and should never be considered as “video-only” optics.\u003cbr\u003e* The built-in, permanent lens hood on the RF14mm F1.4 L VCM lens extends its total length slightly farther than other fixed focal length lenses in the VCM series, as of February, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoice Coil Motor (VCM) focus drive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA relatively recent technology introduction in Canon’s RF lens line, VCM focus drive motors offer superb power and torque, to rapidly move heavier groups of internal focus elements for swift and virtually silent AF performance. These are up to the dual challenges of both extremely quick AF for still-image shooting, but smooth and positive focus transitions during video recording with EOS R-series cameras. And, compared to the ring-type Ultrasonic Motors (USM) used in the previous EF-mount 14mm f\/2.8 L lens, the VCM motor design has noticeable benefits in reducing overall lens diameter as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReduced size and weight — even though two stops faster\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA stunning reduction in lens diameter and weight is achieved by the RF14mm F1.4’s optical and mechanical design, vs. the previous EF14mm f\/2.8L II lens. A wider maximum aperture normally means an increase in size and weight. But the combination of the overall mirrorless structure and Canon’s innovative designs make this lens lighter and slimmer in diameter than the previous f\/2.8 version. Again, the RF14mm lens shares common exterior design and most dimensions with previous RF-mount VCM fixed focal length lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLens Function Button\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConveniently located on the side of the lens barrel, one Lens Function Button can be user-customized in the camera’s menu to perform any one of a multitude of potential tasks. For users who desire, it can mean instant access to an important camera setting, feature or focus setting. With an advanced camera like the EOS R6 Mark III, any one of 77 different possible functions (plus totally disabling the Lens Function Button) can be chosen in the camera’s Customize Buttons menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e11 aperture blades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEleven aperture blades in the RF14mm lens’s diaphragm preserve smooth rendering of out-of-focus in video and still images — especially at close focus distances — even when conditions require the aperture to be stopped-down from its maximum F1.4 opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat technology makes this lens special?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdvanced technologies such as Air Sphere Coating (ASC), Blue Spectrum Refractive (BR) coating, a dedicated iris ring, a customizable lens function button, and a smooth, tactile control ring make this ultra-wide angle lens exceptionally powerful. ASC and BR coatings work together to dramatically reduce flare, ghosting, and chromatic aberrations, delivering cleaner, higher contrast images even in challenging lighting. The iris ring offers intuitive aperture control, while the function button and control ring provide quick, customizable access to key settings. All of this is housed within a robust L Series construction featuring dust and weather resistant sealing, ensuring reliable performance in demanding shooting environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGet Closer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a minimum focus distance of just 9.5”, you can really get close to your subject for some incredibly unique imagery. With the extreme wide-angle of this lens, you will be able to capture something very close to the lens, and still see things happening in the background environment, an absolutely unique look for close-up imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiltered Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RF14mm F1.4 L VCM has a rear filter holder for attaching a sheet-type filter behind the lens. Attaching a soft filter in the rear holder, which is closer to the image plane, makes it possible to shoot point light sources around the edges of the frame without distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63166398333297,"sku":"7427C002","price":3099.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0062\/3414\/4871\/files\/jpngjjq8esekrzoiia2h.jpg?v=1770629420","url":"https:\/\/excellentphoto.ca\/fr\/products\/canon-rf-14mm-f-1-4-l-vcm-lens-canon-rf","provider":"ExcellentPhoto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
