Join me at the stunning Fairmont Hotel in Austin as I dive into an in-depth review of the Canon RF35mm f/1.4 L VCM lens with portrait, wedding and engagement session photos to look at. Filmed at the largest Fairmont in the U.S., I explore whether this lens will make it into my camera bag or if I'll pass it by. This high-quality L series lens features a new VCM motor, lacks image stabilization, and is a hybrid photo-video lens, following the RF 24-105 f/2.8. It's lighter than the EF version, customizable, and offers a virtually silent operation with minimal focus breathing.

A huge question will likely be how is the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 L VCM lens vs the Canon RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM (cheaper version of the lens). To be frank, comparing the canon rf 35mm f18 vs rf 35mm 1.4 is night and day. The Canon RF 35mm 1.4 is an L series lens, and a higher quality than the Canon RF 35mm 1.8. They both have the custom function button, the cheaper one actually does have image stabilization, but the more expensive one has a smooth iris ring, which is pretty for for videographers (not meant for photographers). This is a great portrait lens for sure, producing clean lines and crisp, sharp photos.

I compare it to my favorite Canon RF 28-70 f/2 lens, discussing its practical use, especially for prime lens enthusiasts and low-light conditions. Retailing at $1499, this lens balances cost and performance for serious photographers. This is my honest Canon RF 35mm 1.4 Review.

Special thanks to Chasing Stone for the beautiful backdrops and Hobolite for the chic constant lights.

Where can I buy this lens? It's nowhere to be found.

2:43 de-clicked aperture only? Wonder why they didn't add a switch to choose click vs de-click. Bit of a bummer for photographers.

Hello Vanessa! Please tell me what light you use in the clip at minute 2:34. Thank you very much.

[anthonywisdom]

Widest full frame I have is the 50 f1.8. Trying to decide between the 35 and 50 Vcm lenses or 28-70 f2. I’m too indecisive and I hate it haha

[Виктория-лкх]

Thanks for the constructive review 😊

What model of spotlight do you have that you hold in your hand?

[synaptichorizons]

Have you had a chance to work with the RF50mm F1.4 L VCM? Only have 4 RF Series Lenses for new R Camera. Wanted to add a RF50mm F1.4 L VCM to give me great versatility and a pretty fast lens good for event shoots, in late afternoon lowish light conditions. Know how extensively you've used the RF 50mm F1.2L version of the lens, do you think that those of us on a budget would really like the speed and quality of sharpness of the F1.4 wide open? Already have the RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM and wanted a real fast intermediate prime like the RF50mm F1.4 L VCM for that role. Love shooting with the RF 135mm f/1.8 L IS USM but, not great for shooting various portraits and other scenics in Botanical Gardens and other areas with a limited distance to back up from the subject.

Does your hubby have any input for the lens (he films your videos right?) since it's more of a lens for video?

[Caliber]

Great video Vanessa ❤ I'm waiting for the 50 1.4, hopefully it will come this year as well. The 1.2 is too expensive.

[joncothranphotography]

Cool looking lens! I wonder if it is sharper than the 28-70 with it being a prime, but I'm sure that if it is, it's not noticeable.

[Jozefszy]

Can you do a review for this lens...using it in the dark?

[pirate]

Let's appreciate the classy elegant look of the photographer for a moment and forget about the lens: classical beauty in a classy style. You can't go wrong👍

[razororange]

Hey Vanessa! thanks for the video, would you say the rendering of this 35mm f1.4 is closer to the rf 50mm f1.2 or the rf 85mm f1.2?

[diegopisante]

For the end of the reception, I sometimes jump to the Rf 24 1.8. Even being a gym guy, my middle back can't take until the end with the 24-70 or 16-35. Maybe it's the age hitting up lol.
The EL-1 is pretty heavy as well.

[faceinlens]

Thank you for your honest opinion and also thank you for showing your dilemma between 28-70 and 35mm :) as well. I have exact same situation and I use 35mm (1.8) at and after reception. So, I don't go gym and 28-70 is killing my wrists after 4 hours. I follow your updates and probably I will buy it to replace 35 1.8.
Thank you again.

[chronocross]

I have the 28-70mm, Its my workhorse for weddings... but tbh I'm getting tired of using that lens. Its kinda like eating the same food every day lol

[dultraman]

Good to see Canon rolling out this lens, looking forward to more lol. I believe this 35mm 1.4L + my 24-105 F4L will be just perfect for everything I do at the moment.

[TooGood]

gotta have it. thanks. after my 100-300 comes in tho..

[brianode]

Looks nice! Hopefully we see an RF 50 1.4 and an RF 85 1.4 in the near future.

[keagandevilliers]

when the photographer is 10x better looking than the model

[voldemar_ostrovskiy]

А по-моему покупать к 35-ке полтинник не имеет смысла. Связка 35 и 85 на мой взгляд выглядит более оправданно
