Canon has officially announced the RF 20mm F1.4L VCM lens, the latest addition to their lineup of professional RF-mount prime lenses aimed at filmmakers, cinematographers, and photographers. The lens joins Canon’s recent high-performance primes, including the RF 24mm F1.4L VCM, the RF 35mm F1.4L VCM, and the popular RF 50mm F1.4L. Canon’s L-series VCM prime lenses have quickly established themselves as go-to tools for hybrid shooters due to their smooth autofocus performance, minimal focus breathing, and precise iris control. Last year, Canon expanded this lineup further, announcing four additional RF lenses that emphasized flexibility for hybrid workflows. With NAB 2025 approaching, we expect Canon might have even more announcements on the way soon.
