The RF24mm f/1.4L VCM lens combines ultra-fast, silent autofocus powered by Voice Coil Motor (VCM) and Nano USM technology, making it a perfect fit for filmmaking. Its 24mm wide angle focal length gives you that immersive perspective.
The wide f/1.4 aperture, along with 11 circular blades, ensures excellent low-light performance and stunning cinematic bokeh, while the physical iris control
lets you fine-tune your creative expression effortlessly.
With its innovative design and optical configuration made possible by the RF mount, the RF24mm f/1.4L VCM produces exceptional image quality all the way till the edges of the image.

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.
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.
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.
Air Sphere Coating (ASC) with anti-reflection technology suppresses ghosting and reduces flare for clear and high contrast images even when shooting backlit subjects.
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.
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.
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.
When recording videos, a typical phenomenon that occurs is a 'pulsing effect' in the footage whereby the camera's angle of view changes slightly during focus racking. The RF24mm f/1.4L VCM's floating focus control suppresses breathing optically in all focus positions, resulting in outstanding video quality with any EOS R camera body.
With a compact size of 76.5mm in diameter and 515g in weight, the RF24mm f/1.4L VCM is smaller and over 20% lighter than the EF24mm f/1.4L II USM.
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.
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.
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.
*dedicated control ring function is disabled if focus ring is used as 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.
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.
The lens has a dust- and drip-resistant construction that keeps dust and water droplets out.
A smudge-resistant fluorine coating is applied on the front lens, preventing moisture and oil from sticking.

*This product emits low level magnetic flux. If you use an implantable cardiac pacemaker or other medical device and feel abnormalities, please keep away from this product and consult your doctor.
*When the lens is not attached to the camera or the power switch of the camera is in the off status when the lens is attached, shaking the lens may cause the internal lens group to shift and noise may occur, but this is not a malfunction. Although the internal lens group shifts due to vibration such as when the lens is carried, this will not affect aspects such as performance.
