Canon RF 14mm F1.4 L VCM Lens

Canon RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM Ultra-Wide Prime Lens

Ultra-wide. Ultra-fast. Star quality.

The Canon RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM is a professional-grade ultra-wide prime built for creators who demand exceptional performance in both stills and video. Designed by Canon, this lightweight L-series hybrid lens combines a dramatic 114° angle of view with a bright f/1.4 aperture — making it ideal for astrophotography, landscapes, interiors, architecture, and cinematic filmmaking.

With advanced optics, smooth VCM autofocus, and rugged weather-resistant construction, this lens delivers outstanding edge-to-edge clarity even in the toughest shooting conditions.

Ultra-Wide Perspective with Creative Freedom

At 14mm, this rectilinear prime captures expansive scenes and tight spaces with ease. The immense 114° diagonal field of view opens up bold compositional possibilities — perfect for dramatic landscapes, immersive interiors, and dynamic video.

Pair that with the fast f/1.4 aperture, and you gain:

• Greater control over depth of field (rare for ultra-wide lenses)

• Faster shutter speeds in low light

• Lower ISO for cleaner night and astro images

It’s a powerful combination for creative shooting after dark or in challenging environments.

Exceptional Optical Performance — Right to the Edges

Canon’s advanced lens engineering shines here, with a sophisticated optical design that includes:

• 3× GMo aspherical elements for superb edge-to-edge sharpness and reduced sagittal coma flare (critical for pinpoint stars)

• Fluorite, UD, and BR elements to suppress chromatic aberration and colour fringing

• ASC + SWC coatings to minimise ghosting and flare in strong backlight

The result is beautifully crisp detail across the entire frame — even wide open at f/1.4.

Hybrid Design for Photography & Video

Built as part of Canon’s f/1.4 Hybrid Prime family, the RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM shares consistent handling and performance with its sibling lenses.

Video-friendly features include:

• VCM (Voice Coil Motor) autofocus for fast, smooth, and near-silent focusing

• Dedicated Iris Ring for tactile aperture control during filming

• Minimal focus breathing for cleaner focus pulls

• 11-blade circular aperture for cinematic bokeh and striking 22-point starbursts

Whether you’re shooting stills or cinema-style video, this lens integrates seamlessly into professional workflows.

Lightweight L-Series Construction

Despite its ultra-wide f/1.4 design, this lens weighs just approx. 578g, making it impressively portable for location work and travel.

You also benefit from:

• Dust and moisture-resistant L-series build

• Fluorine-coated front element for easier cleaning

• Rear-mounted gelatin filter holder for creative control in the field

It’s engineered to perform reliably on demanding shoots — indoors or out.
