Featuring a unique Iris Ring for smooth manual aperture adjustments, minimal focus breathing, and rapid autofocus, this lens brings immersive video and striking stills together in one seamless package.

Designed within Canon’s L-series for professionals, the RF 24mm F1.4L VCM is an essential wide-angle lens for capturing architecture, interiors, landscapes, and creative storytelling with cinematic quality.

Top Features and Benefits

• Hybrid Artistry for Stills and Video
  Capture a beautifully wide 24mm perspective in full-frame, ideal for cinematic scenes. Filmmakers will appreciate minimal focus breathing and a dedicated Iris Ring that enables smooth manual control. The 11-blade aperture provides stunning circular highlights and artistic bokeh.

• Outstanding Low-Light Performance
  An f/1.4 aperture keeps your shots clear even in low light, while the prime design maintains sharpness. A rear filter holder and 67mm front filter ring expand creative options, letting you control depth and tone.

• Precision and Sharpness
  With an aspheric element and two UD lenses, this lens delivers exceptional image quality. Super Spectra, SWC, and ASC coatings further reduce flare and ghosting. Nano USM and Voice Coil Motor (VCM) technology combine for fast, precise autofocus that’s ideal for both stills and video.

• Reliability and Ease of Use
  Built for challenging environments, this L-series lens features a fluorine coating to protect against dust and dirt. A customizable Lens Function Button and dedicated Control Ring allow for easy control of camera settings.

• Lightweight and Practical Design
  Approximately 20% lighter than its EF counterpart, the RF 24mm F1.4L VCM makes your setup more agile and is optimized for quick lens changes on video rigs.

New Technology Explained

• Iris Ring
  Allows for smooth manual aperture adjustments when filming, making transitions between stops nearly silent and ideal for professional video control.

• Voice Coil Motor (VCM)
  VCM technology, used here due to the larger internal elements, delivers faster, smoother focus adjustments and enhances capture spontaneity and focus transitions.

• Lens Function Button (AF Stop Button)
  The customizable Lens Function Button acts as an AF stop button by default, pausing autofocus temporarily during Servo AF to give you full creative control.
