Exceptional stills and videos with a natural look
A focal length of 50 mm gives photographers a natural, full-frame perspective. Filmmakers will appreciate the minimal focus shift and separate iris ring for smooth manual control. The 11 slit aperture blades provide beautiful circular highlights for a cinematic look.
Brilliant creative performance in low light
Thanks to a bright f/1.4 aperture and versatile depth-of-field control for optimum peak highlights, you can keep shooting even when the light levels are low. The RF 50mm F1.4L VCM delivers exceptional detail and its natural perspective makes it ideal for portraits and cinematic video.
Speed and precision with incredible sharpness
Enjoy superb image quality thanks to two aspherical lens elements for incredible clarity and a UD lens with Super Spectra and ASC coating. The fast Nano USM and even faster Vibrating Coil Motor (VCM) technology ensures fast, yet smooth, accurate focusing for both stills and movies.
Outstanding reliability and intuitive use
The L Series design incorporates high-quality glass lens elements, making it suitable for use in challenging conditions. A fluorine coating prevents dirt from sticking to the front lens element, while a special lens control ring and customisable lens function button allow personalised control.
