Canon RF 24mm f/1.4L VCM Lens Summary
Joining the growing mirrorless RF lens lineup is the highly anticipated Canon RF 24mm f/1.4L VCM Lens, which is a wide-angle prime designed for both stills and video content creators. This hybrid lens completes the trio of fast RF primes, alongside the RF 35mm F/1.4L VCM and RF 50mm f/1.4L VCM lens. All of these feature Canon's Voice Coil Motor (VCM) for fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus, which is perfect for hybrid shooting.
The RF 24mm f/1.4L VCM provides L-series rugged build-quality with superb reliability and offers intuitive handling whether shooting handheld or while mounted on a camera rig or stabiliser. This makes the 24mm RF wide angle lens a great choice for outdoor shoots and any demanding environment.
Canon’s lens includes a dedicated iris ring, allowing for seamless, and silent aperture adjustments, which is a useful feature for filmmakers who need to make smooth exposure transitions during recording. A customisable control ring and function button further enhance the lens’ versatility, enabling users to customise it to suit their personal workflow.
To render the best possible image quality on a full-frame EOS R camera or cinema camera, Canon has utilised aspherical elements and UD glass, which minimise aberrations and distortions, resulting in sharp, low distortion high-resolution images. Coatings such as Super Spectra, SWC, and ASC also reduce flare and ghosting, helping to deliver superb colour and contrast, even in backlighting or demanding lighting conditions.

Canon RF 24mm f/1.4L VCM Lens in More Detail
Incredibly sharp optics
Canon has included aspheric elements and Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) lenses, which enhance image quality by reducing common optical imperfections. Multiple lens coatings are also employed in the optical design with Super Spectra, SWC, and ASC.
Aspheric elements correct spherical aberrations, improving sharpness and contrast across the entire image, even at wide apertures like f/1.4. This results in images that maintain excellent resolution from the centre to the edges. UD elements work by reducing chromatic aberration, which occurs when different wavelengths of light fail to converge at the same point. This correction ensures natural colour reproduction and sharp detail without unwanted colour fringing, for high-quality, true-to-life results even in difficult backlighting.
Wide aperture for depth in any light
With its wide f/1.4 aperture, the RF 24mm lens excels at capturing sharp subjects with impressive depth of field, even in low-light conditions. This also allows you to experiment with shallow depth of field and subject separation, making it ideal for filming, street photography, and any scene where isolating your subject is key.
An 11-blade aperture renders smooth defocus areas in the image with pleasing rounded bokeh to enhance results where a shallow depth of field is desirable.
Fast and precise focus
A combination of Nano USM and a Voice Coil Motor delivers fast, accurate autofocus, with the added benefit of reduced focus breathing, making the lens particularly well-suited for video.
Intuitive handling
A dedicated Iris Ring allows for smooth manual control when needed, while a control ring and function button offer personalised settings, ideal for creators on the go.
Superb reliability
Canon’s L-series build quality, combined with a Fluorine coating, ensures the lens can withstand tough conditions, while reducing maintenance on the front element.
Voice Coil Motor
VCM technology makes it easier to capture spontaneous moments and achieve smooth silent focus transitions during filmmaking due to the system’s ability to move large lens elements more quickly.
Unified hybrid design
This model includes common features and a unified design which complement the 35mm and 50mm VCM lenses in the range. These include:
- Internal zooming
- Electronic parfocal performance
- Allow the use of power zooms
- Easy rigging swaps and follow focus
- Optical focus breathing control
