Features
Full-Frame Format | f/1.4 to f/16
The Canon RF 24mm f/1.4 L VCM lens is designed for full-frame RF-mount cameras and offers an ultra-fast maximum aperture of f/1.4. This wide aperture provides exceptional low-light performance, allowing photographers to capture clear and sharp images even in dim settings. The range from f/1.4 to f/16 offers versatility, catering to shallow depth-of-field effects as well as broader depth for wide-angle shots.
Extremely Fast Design, Advanced Optics
Canon has incorporated advanced optical engineering into this lens to deliver edge-to-edge sharpness and reduced distortion. The fast design of this lens enables high-quality results at maximum aperture, making it ideal for astrophotography and other low-light scenarios. The 24mm focal length provides a wide-angle view with minimal optical imperfections, enhancing clarity and color accuracy.
Voice Coil Motor (VCM) for Rear Focus
Equipped with a Voice Coil Motor (VCM), the Canon RF 24mm f/1.4 lens features rear focusing, which reduces the overall weight of the moving elements, resulting in fast and accurate focusing performance. This technology also ensures quieter operation, making it suitable for both still photography and video.
Nano USM for Fast Floating Autofocus
The lens includes a Nano Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for responsive and silent autofocus. This floating autofocus system provides quick and precise focusing, even at close distances. The quietness of the Nano USM also makes it suitable for video recording, where silent focusing is essential for professional-grade footage.
Manual Iris/Full-Time Focus Rings
The Canon RF 24mm f/1.4 L VCM lens comes with a manual iris control ring and full-time focus capability. This means users can adjust aperture and focus with complete control, even when in autofocus mode. The rings are smooth and well-damped, allowing for precise adjustments without switching modes.
Air Sphere (ASC) Coating
Canon’s Air Sphere Coating (ASC) minimizes ghosting and flare caused by reflections and backlighting. This coating enhances image quality, particularly in challenging lighting conditions, by maintaining contrast and color accuracy, making it ideal for shooting in varied lighting situations.
One Aspherical Element, Two UD Elements
The lens’s optical formula includes one aspherical element and two Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements, which work together to reduce chromatic aberrations and optical distortions. The combination of these elements ensures sharpness and color fidelity, enhancing overall image clarity, especially in high-contrast situations.
Rounded 11-Blade Diaphragm
With an 11-blade rounded diaphragm, the Canon RF 24mm f/1.4 produces smooth, circular bokeh, making it a great option for those who love background separation and artistic blur effects. This feature allows photographers to create beautifully blurred backgrounds for more visually engaging images.
Weather-Sealed Design
Canon has built the RF 24mm f/1.4 to withstand challenging environments, with weather-sealing to protect against dust and moisture. This durable construction means photographers can confidently shoot in harsh conditions, knowing their lens is well-protected.
Attachable Rear Gel Filter Holder
This lens includes an attachable rear gel filter holder, which offers additional creative flexibility. This allows photographers to use gel filters for color effects or light adjustments, without requiring large front-mounted filters, making the lens even more adaptable to various shooting needs.
The Canon RF 24mm f/1.4 L VCM lens is a powerful addition to any RF-mount photographer’s kit, delivering the high-quality performance and flexibility expected of Canon’s L-series lenses. Whether capturing low-light scenes, wide landscapes, or detailed architectural shots, this lens provides precision, speed, and durability that meet the demands of professional and advanced photographers.
