An all-purpose prime designed for both photo and video applications, the RF 50mm f/1.4 L VCM Lens from Canon is a fast normal-length lens made for full-frame RF-mount camera systems. With its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture and 11-bladed diaphragm, working in low-light conditions isn't an issue, nor is producing dreamy, complementary bokeh around your subjects. This hybrid lens design incorporates a video-friendly Voice Coil Motor (VCM) rear focus system with a Nano USM (Ultrasonic Motor) for precise autofocus and near-silent lens operation. Its dedicated manual iris ring and AF/MF switch offer users heightened focus control and allow for swift settings adjustments. Belonging to the L-series, this prime lens promises excellent durability and features a weather-resistant design that protects against dust and moisture.
