    Description

    Ultra-Wide for Hybrid Creators
    Designed to satisfy both photographers and videographers' needs, the Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM is a fast ultra-wide-angle prime lens with a function-first build that caters to the hybrid nature of modern image-making, emphasizing high image quality, responsive AF, minimized focus breathing, and intuitive, silent, and customizable handling.
     
    Optimized for Photo
    Suiting nature, landscape, architecture, interior, and street photography applications, this ultra-wide prime offers a huge angle of view that enables making strong, dynamic compositions with an exaggerated sense of space and foreground.
     
    • Impressively fast f/1.4 maximum aperture affords control over depth of field and also greatly benefits low-light shooting, making this an ideal lens for astrophotography applications.
    • Optical design includes ultra-low dispersion (UD) and Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics (BR) elements to reduce chromatic aberrations for impressive clarity and color accuracy.
    • Air Sphere (ASC) and Subwavelength structure (SWC) coatings reduce flare and ghosting for improved contrast.
    • Contrasting the ultra-wide field of view, this lens also excels with close-up subjects thanks to a 20cm minimum focusing distance and 0.19x maximum magnification.
    • Rounded 11-blade diaphragm creates a smooth, rounded out-of-focus rendering.
     
    Optimized for Video
    When used for video applications, the lens's ultra-wide field of view and close-focusing design can be paired with motion to create especially dynamic scenes.
     
    • Manual aperture ring with de-click switch to make smooth, silent iris pulls.
    • Focus breathing is especially well-controlled, helping to maintain a consistent composition and field of view when racking focus.
    • Linear focus motor for intuitive manual focus control.
    • Matched design with other Hybrid series primes; all lenses have the same 67mm front filter ring and general size for ease in rigging and working with multiple lenses on a shoot.
    VCM and Nano USM Autofocus
    The focusing system has also been tuned to suit both photo and video tasks, offering a useful mixture of speed and control.
     
    • Nano Ultrasonic Motor (USM) is used to control a floating focusing system while a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) adjusts a rear focusing group; together, these two systems offer an ideal mixture of speed and quiet performance that is especially beneficial to video recording.
    • Floating focus design also helps to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, from 20cm to infinity.
    • AF/MF switch and full-time manual focus override for intuitive focus control when needed.
    Design Details
    Despite being a fast ultra-wide lens, this 20mm f/1.4 remains relatively compact and lightweight for regular use. Its design and size is matched to the other Hybrid lenses and is built for everyday use for a wide range of shooting applications.
     
    • Effectively the same dimensions (76.2 x L: 99.1 mm) and weight (500 g) as other Hybrid series prime lenses; these lenses also share a 67mm front filter ring diameter.
    • Included filter holder attaches to the rear of the lens and accepts pre-cut gel filters; this is ideal for scenarios when more than one filter might be needed or if one filter will be used for a sustained amount of time.
    • In addition to the manual aperture ring, this lens has a customizable Control Ring and Function Button, which can be programmed to control a range of shooting settings.
    • L-Series level durability and weather resistance for working in inclement conditions.

     

    Note:It is recommended to use in-camera lens profiles or post-production lens corrections in order to achieve optimal results when working with this lens.
