Customer Reviews for Canon - RF35mm F1.4 L VCM Wide-Angle Lens for EOS R-Series Cameras - Black

Sharp, fast lens. It is sharper into the corners than the older EF version. It gets a 4 out of 5 from me though because of the amount of chromatic aberration present in a premium lens at this price point. I'm more of a photographer than a videographer and shoot RAW images. The in camera corrections and smooth aperture ring does make it a good video lens. Quite continuous autofocus too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cheetah vs. Gazelle
on July 4, 2024

The speed of the autofocus on this new lens is simply cheetah-like in comparison to the EF 35mm f/1.4 L II version, which until now was one of my favorite and most frequently used lenses. That lens now seems like the inevitable victim of prey which is about to meet its demise because of its sluggishness upon comparison.
It's also slightly sharper than the EF 35mm f/1.4 L II, significantly lighter in weight, and of course much more convenient as there is no longer a need for an adapter. To my pleasant surprise, the design and material texture of this new lens is also more striking than I expected. Overall, it gives the tangible feel of a significant upgrade that justifies the cost.

Its about time Canon releases new L prime lenses like this one. But it was worth it: It has a very beautiful character and bokeh, and it is very sharp. AF super fast, accurate and silent.
It comes with few cons: some aberration and distortion, which can be both corrected easily.

Such a joy to use. 10/10 I love this lens.

Extremely lightweight with fantastic image quality. If you shoot c-raw, all the distortion is corrected. Don’t listen to everyone complaining and moaning. It’s not quite on par with the EF 35 ii optically, but it comes with a MASSIVE weight and cost savings, especially once you factor in the adapter for the EF version.

Fantastic and Surprisingly Versatile
on December 20, 2024
Posted by: Anonymous
I got myself an R5 and needed a lens, I thought of the 28-70 f2, the 24-70 f2.8, and the 24-105 f4. I wasn't thinking of getting a prime at all. Then, I see reviews of this lens, and I am blown away. The absurd sharpness and super wide aperture took me by complete surprise. The MP of the R5 mixed with the insane sharpness and clarity makes this one of the most versatile primes you can get. This is a bit of a curse now because all I want is the 50mm 1.4 to be alongside it. Maybe the 85 and 135 are in my future.

Incredible lens

Absolutely remarkable lens from Canon. As a full-time wedding photographer who primarily shoots with primes (35mm, 50mm, 85mm), I have eagerly awaited this lens since Canon introduced their Mirrorless body offerings.
I absolutely adore the RF 50mm 1.2 and the 85mm 1.2. They are truly amazing lenses, and the RF 35mm 1.4 is an exceptional addition to the trio.
The image quality of the new 35mm is outstanding in every way, from the sharpness at both the center and edges to the natural color rendition. However, what I appreciate most is the weight reduction of this lens. As I approach 40, carrying heavy lenses for a 10-hour wedding day has become quite a chore. While 2 pounds for a lens might not seem significant, it really is when you're holding that, along with an R3 and a speedlite, to your face for 10 hours. I have always envied my friends with Sony lenses because they are lighter, but now with Canon's lighter offerings, I am thrilled. The iconic Canon colors and glass, is something I and many others have loved for years, but now with the additional weight savings that love grows stronger. These lighter lenses not only reduce fatigue throughout the day but also allow me to position my camera in ways that were previously impossible due to ligament and joint strain.
And Canon, if you happen to read this, please, please, please release lighter L lenses in 50mm and 85mm. As a wedding professional, I would much rather take a light 1.4 over a heavy 1.2 any day. Keep up the great work!

Instantly Returned

This was an incredible letdown. I had been waiting for just this exact lens for so long. I received it and loved the size and weight. The loose, clunking elements annoyed me some, but when poor quality of the standalone, uncorrected photos, I heart sank. I returned it the very next day. This is the worst L glass on the RF mount by far. Sad day. Shame on canon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this lens. It’s company, yet I get great quality pictures and videos. I have it paired up with my R5c camera and DJI Ronin 3 Pro
