Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM Lens: Impressive Images, Rich Bokeh, Natural Perspective for Photo & Video
Unlock your creative vision in Port Moresby and across Papua New Guinea with the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM Lens. This exceptional fixed prime lens delivers impressive images with a rich f/1.4 bokeh, allowing your subjects to beautifully stand out. The natural 35mm focal length closely matches the human angle of vision, making it incredibly versatile for capturing any subject, from stunning landscapes of PNG to intimate portraits and everyday moments. The inclusion of an iris ring provides precise manual aperture control, especially beneficial for cinematic movie shooting.
Experience expressive power in both video and stills. The 35mm perspective allows you to capture scenes as you see them, while the wide f/1.4 maximum aperture creates a shallow depth of field with beautiful bokeh, making your subjects pop. Achieve outstanding optical performance with high image quality from the centre to the edges of the frame. Colour aberration is optimally corrected by two UD lenses, and two GMo aspheric lenses effectively suppress spherical aberration and image distortion, ensuring crisp and clear results in the diverse lighting conditions of Papua New Guinea.
Enjoy the cinema lens experience when shooting movies with the dedicated iris ring, offering smooth, manual aperture control to precisely adjust the depth of field and create cinematic effects. The light, smooth torque of the iris ring is also handy for reducing external noise during movie recording, crucial for capturing clear audio in various environments around PNG.
Canon's first RF lens to utilize a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) in combination with a Nano USM achieves innovative electronic floating focus control. The high-thrust VCM actuates the heavier focusing lens group, while the compact, energy-saving Nano USM controls the lightweight floating lens, resulting in fast, reliable, and quiet autofocus for both stills and smooth video.
Capture stable video compositions with minimal distractions thanks to the Focus Breathing Control. The combination of VCM and Nano USM actuators thoroughly suppresses breathing across all focus positions optically, ensuring your video footage maintains a consistent field of view, even with camera bodies lacking electronic breathing correction functions.
Built to the rigorous standards of Canon's L-series, this lens offers exceptional durability and reliability, allowing creators to continue shooting with confidence even in the varying conditions of Papua New Guinea. The RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM is also highly customizable to suit individual shooting styles, featuring a lens control ring, focus ring, lens function button, iris ring, and a convenient rear filter holder.
