The Canon RF 24mm f/1.4L VCM is one of the company's new hybrid lenses: elite L-series optics aimed at both stills photographers and filmmakers in equal measure, with the inclusion of fast and quiet autofocus motors and an Iris (aperture) ring to adjust the aperture smoothly on the fly.
A lens with a 24mm focal length is an obvious choice for hybrid primes, offering a wide-angle lens that will appeal to photographers who shoot things like landscapes and astrophotography, while also offering a workhorse for videographers who rely on wider focal lengths for a huge swathe of their work.
