Canon RF 85mm f/1.4 L VCM Lens

Portrait-Length Prime for Hybrid Creators
Built for photographers and videographers alike, the Canon RF 85mm f/1.4 L VCM is a fast short-telephoto 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
A popular focal length for portraiture and events, this short-telephoto lens is also a unique option for landscapes and street applications where the narrower field of view, along with bright f/1.4 design, can isolate subjects with shallow depth of field and create flattering perspectives.

Versatile 85mm focal length is ideal for portraiture thanks to an ideal mixture of slight compression and a narrow, selective field of view; this results in a flattering rendering of full-length and half-length subjects with good subject-background separation.

Optimized for Video
When used for video applications, the slightly long focal length and selective field of view is ideal for tight shots in two-camera setups and for working with distant subjects and more selective framing.

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.
