Canon RF 85mm f/1.4 L VCM Lens (Canon RF)
The Canon RF 85 mm F1.4 L VCM is a premium L-series medium-telephoto lens designed for both photographers and filmmakers. With a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens delivers stunning subject separation, low-light performance, and a timeless portrait look.
