Canon has just announced the release of a lens that many of us have been waiting for – their latest addition to the RF lens lineup, the RF35mm f/1.4 L-series VCM (Voice Coil Motor) lens. This lens is the first in Canon’s upcoming series of hybrid, fixed focal length lenses featuring a ‘hybrid’ lens design. Let’s have a detailed look at this new lens!

We wrote back in March of 2022 (here) about Canon’s growth strategy and their aim of releasing 32 RF lenses by 2025, so it’s a pleasure to finally see this 35mm f/1.4 lens added to their RF fixed lens lineup.

The f/1.4 aperture provides exceptional depth of field and excellent performance in low-light conditions, which should be ideal for documentary filmmakers, low-light photography, journalism, etc. The lens is both smaller and lighter than its predecessor, weighing 555g/1.2lbs, one of the lightest lenses in the mirrorless 35mm class, according to Canon. Despite its size, it has an 11-blade aperture compared to 9 blades in the EF 35mm lens. Canon RF35mm F1.4 L VCM.
