Canon RF 14mm F1.4L VCM Lens
Ultra-wide, ultra-fast, star quality
The RF 14mm F1.4L VCM is a lightweight, ultra-wide hybrid lens with an exceptionally fast aperture. Built for professionals, this versatile prime delivers outstanding edge-to-edge image quality for both stills and video, making it ideal for astrophotography, landscapes, interiors, drone work and more. Its expansive 114° diagonal angle of view and bright f/1.4 aperture open up new creative possibilities, while L-series construction, a smooth VCM autofocus actuator and an advanced optical design—featuring GMo aspheric, fluorite, UD and BR elements—ensure reliable performance even in demanding conditions.
Canon’s decades of optical innovation are clearly reflected in this lens and its impressive specifications. Combining an ultra-wide 14mm focal length, a fast f/1.4 aperture and remarkable edge-to-edge sharpness in such a compact, portable design makes it both highly capable and convenient to use.
The RF 14mm F1.4L VCM also expands the f/1.4 Hybrid Prime family, which now includes six focal lengths: 14mm, 20mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm. Sharing the same maximum aperture, smooth VCM autofocus and consistent design as the other primes, it integrates seamlessly into the range for hybrid shooting workflows.

An ultra-wide perspective for dramatic impact
Capture striking stills and video in both expansive and tight environments with a 14mm hybrid prime lens offering a vast 114° diagonal angle of view.
Greater freedom in low-light shooting
The fast f/1.4 aperture enables quicker shutter speeds without increasing ISO, while the shallow depth of field adds creative flexibility for an ultra-wide lens.
Exceptional image quality without compromise
Experience enhanced clarity through advanced UD, BR and Fluorite elements that minimise chromatic aberration, along with SWC and ASC coatings to suppress ghosting and flare.
Outstanding sharpness from edge to edge
Three GMo aspherical elements reduce sagittal coma flare, delivering beautifully rendered point light sources—such as stars in astrophotography—and impressive edge-to-edge detail.
Accurate control for stills and video
Hybrid-focused features include a dedicated smooth-action Iris Ring, an 11-blade circular aperture, minimal focus breathing and a Voice Coil Motor for fast, smooth and near-silent autofocus.
Lightweight, weather-resistant build
Take on demanding shoots with confidence thanks to durable L-series construction. Weighing approximately 578g, this remarkably light f/1.4 ultra-wide lens is designed for creators on the move.
