VCM & Nano USM

Experience lightning-fast and pinpoint-accurate autofocus with the revolutionary RF24mm f/1.4L VCM. Harnessing the power of a Voice Coil Motor (VCM), this cutting-edge actuator seamlessly transforms electrical energy into kinetic force through a magnetic field.

While the VCM propels the heavier focusing lens group, the Nano USM drives the floating lens. These two work in harmony to deliver swift and precise autofocus that operates smoothly and quietly, ideal for recording videos.

Aspherical Lens

In order to achieve superior image quality, the RF24mm f/1.4L VCM uses a glass-molded (GMo) aspherical lens to suppress spherical aberration and image distortion.

UD Lenses

Using two single Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) lens elements with low refraction and low dispersion, axial and chromatic aberrations are reduced to deliver higher image quality.

ASC

Air Sphere Coating (ASC) with anti-reflection technology suppresses ghosting and reduces flare for clear and high contrast images even when shooting backlit subjects.

SWC

Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) is a nanometer-sized structure formed on the lens surface that supresses reflection to create images with better clarity and sharpness.

Mesmerising Bokeh

The large f/1.4 aperture and 11-blade circular design create beautifully smooth bokeh and a cinematic out-of-focus effect. It also allows for faster shutter speeds or lower ISO settings, making it perfect for capturing crisp images even in low-light conditions.

Superior Quality Up-Close

Experience stunning, edge-to-edge clarity, even in close-up shots, with up to 0.17x magnification and a minimum focusing distance of just 0.24m.

Capture beauty in every detail, no matter how close you get.

Iris Ring

The RF24mm f/1.4L VCM’s iris ring offers the intuitive control that filmmakers love.

It allows precise, physical aperture adjustments just like a true cinema lens for you to craft the perfect lighting for your creative vision.

Lens Function Button

The customisable Lens Function button puts control at your fingertips, providing quick access to essential functions such as autofocus, exposure, connectivity, and more.

This feature allows you to effortlessly adapt to changing scenes to capture the perfect shot.

Customisable Focus Ring

The lens has a dedicated focusing ring for manual focus which you can also customise for various functions similar to the control ring when paired with compatible cameras.

Control Ring

Canon's distinctive knurled control ring allows you to control AF area, shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, ISO, white balance, colour temperature and even Picture Style.

Rear Filter Holder

You can add a sheet-type filter behind the lens through the detachable rear filter holder and further stack other filters on the front of the lens to expand your creative expression.

Dust & Drip Resistance

The lens has a dust- and drip-resistant construction that keeps dust and water droplets out.

Fluorine Coating

A smudge-resistant fluorine coating is applied on the front lens, preventing moisture and oil from sticking.
