Its lightweight, fixed aperture design ensures smooth handling and balance, while the advanced Voice Coil Motor provides lightning-fast, whisper-quiet autofocus for seamless shooting. For filmmakers, a dedicated iris ring offers precise manual control over exposure, giving you the creative flexibility to capture every moment exactly as you envision. This is the lens that redefines wide-angle brilliance.
Incredible clarity, even in the corners
This ultra wide angle lens delivers remarkable sharpness from edge to edge, with exceptional clarity even in the corners of every frame. This performance is made possible by the use of premium optical elements and a design that fully leverages the large diameter mount and short back focus distance.

Focus on Focus
The RF14mm lens features a unique focusing system. There is a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that powers the primary rear focus unit that is incredibly fast, accurate and quiet (great for video). A hallmark of the Canon hybrid lenses, focus breathing ensures that a lens maintains a consistent field of view while racking focus, preventing the distracting "zoom like" effect that can occur as focus shifts.

Optical design and performance
Improved sharpness, especially at the edges and corners. Great reduction in chromatic and other aberrations. Significant reductions in lens flare, in strong back-lit scenes. A total re-design of the 14mm lens brings all these to EOS R-series users.

Ultra wide-angle coverage
Two stops faster than Canon's previous EF-mount 14mm f/2.8 L II USM lens, the RF14mm opens new doors to critical still-image and video users. Its ultra-wide coverage makes it ideal for dramatic creative imagery, as well as for subjects ranging from interiors and landscapes to music video productions.
And with its maximum f/1.4 lens aperture, this lens becomes ideal for low-light work, up to and including starscapes. The combination of such wide-angle coverage with a wide f/1.4 lens aperture is an optical mountain for lens designers.

Get Closer
With a minimum focus distance of just 9.5", you can really get close to your subject for some incredibly unique imagery. With the extreme wide-angle of this lens, you will be able to capture something very close to the lens, and still see things happening in the background environment, an absolutely unique look for close-up imagery.

Filtered Content
The RF14mm F1.4 L VCM has a rear filter holder for attaching a sheet-type filter behind the lens. Attaching a soft filter in the rear holder, which is closer to the image plane, makes it possible to shoot point light sources around the edges of the frame without distortion.

Optics optimized for starscapes and astrophotography
A specific design goal of the RF14mm lens was superb performance in the challenging environment of starscape photography - where even the slightest aberrations at wide apertures can be immediately noticeable by critical users in finished, high-resolution images.
