Canon Announces First Lens in Series of Fixed Focal Length RF Hybrid Lenses – RF35mm F1.4L VCM
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Using a ring on the lens for aperture is really only useful for video/cine works (just wonder : why did it disappear from most lenses during many years and only reappear since few years because of video/hybrid needs ?!). So if I was to rant, I'd say : remove this Aperture ring and lower the price

I would think the camera would still focus with the aperture wide open, as it does now. Perhaps not, though.
Why would the almost negligible sound of the aperture blades matter for stills?
Focus shift and DoF can already be controlled by changing the aperture in 1/3 or 1/2 stop increments. Moreover, since shutter speed and ISO change in those increments, I suspect Canon would just round to the nearest 1/3 or 1/2 stop value anyway, for stills. I doubt the EXIF will report 1/200 s, ISO 640, f/2.654386539, for example.
Sorry, still not getting it.
Incidentally, I was wrong about it being continuously variable – it’s 1/32 stop increments. The lens specs suggest it may never be usable in stills.
“Aperture value adjustment steps: During movie shooting: 1/32 stop; during still photo shooting: adjust on camera”

this has been a busy day!
Of course as always, I was travelling today. It's either Craig or me, but one of us is travelling during a release.
some more information for you all, including a spiffy 360 degree view of the lens.

Canon RF 35mm F1.4L VCM MTF Comparison
After looking around I finally found the MTF charts for the Canon RF 35mm F1.4L VCM, many thanks to TDP. I’ll give it a quick comparison to its brother the legendary EF 35mm F1.4L II USM and the RF…

Some samples for you folks to pixel peep. Please use a translator.
From my own observation looking at only F1.4 :
Extremely sharp wide open from corner to corner even at 100% pixel peeping, there is no sharpening in camera, this lens is really really sharp.
The bokeh is beautifully melt away.
There are green-purple fringings at corner, not much, you must pixel peep to see it. With these little fringings, I believe the bokeh at 1.4 will be as dreamy as the legendary EF 135mm at F2.0. Should be a very popular lens for portrait photographer.
I'm waiting for Bryan test on the night sky for the winged-stars, and hopefully Canon Asia announces it soon.

The RF35STM is my always-on, go anywhere lens, so I am trying to convince myself that size, weight and niceties such as MFD and stabilization are more important to me than optical quality.
But still the 35L just seems like a really nice lens to lust after

Why is this lens so small and so cheap? I am a hybrid shooter photo + video but I would love to have 28mm or 35mm 1.2 lens dedicated to photo with big front element like 50, 85 and 135 Do you have any indications of 35 1.2 coming?
Do you have any indications of 35 1.2 coming?

$2300 here…
I would find ever changing dof equally disturbing to exposure changes I think..

Price is a factor of the camera market right now. There are too many alternative brands and if Canon wants to maintain its lead, they need to price aggressively too.

What cripple hammer? Canon never had a 35mm 1.4 lens with IS. None of the other manufacturers have 35mm lenses with IS either. Not Sony, not Sigma. You have IS in the body

Your numbers are neither generally true, nor specifically true in the case of a 35mm lens.
The relative contributions of each IS system to total stabilization depend on the focal length. At the wide end, IBIS is more effective than lens IS. For example, the RF 28-70/2 lacks lens IS but is rated for 8 stops on IBIS bodies, and the RF 50/1.8 that also lacks lens IS gets 7 stops from IBIS. Lenses in this focal range with IS generally get 4-5.5 stops from that, which increases to 7-8 stops with IBIS.
Since 7-8 stops is the maximum achievable with coordinated IS (depending on the lens, more specifically on the lens’ image circle), IBIS alone can deliver the maximum possible stabilization for wide and normal lenses.
At long focal lengths, the opposite is true – IBIS is relatively ineffective. For example, the RF 600/11 gets 5 stops without IBIS and 6 stops with IBIS.
Granted, if you’re using an R8 or other camera lacking IBIS, lens IS is your only option. But that doesn’t seem to be your complaint.
I don’t see that Canon has provided the stabilization rating for the new 35/1.4L, so the jury is still out but given that other lenses in that focal range get 7-8 stops from IBIS, I think your concern is premature.
