Incredible feature set from an incredible lens
This lens has a lot going for it. You already know about the new VCM and Iris control ring, but there is so much more. You can attach filters to this lens with a front 67mm screw thread allows for screw-on filters. You also have a control ring and a control button both of which you can assign functions to. This lens is also dust and weather resistant, has one aspheric lenses, and ASC (Air Sphere Coating) to reduce ghosting.
Time to focus on focusing
The RF85mm F1.4 L VCM is part of a series of “hybrid” lenses that focus on video performance as much as still photography. One of these features is a change to how the focus system works. There is a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) that powers the focus unit. This focus motor works at an incredible speed and in near silence. One important note about the VCM is that it requires power to hold its position, so when the camera is off, or the lens is not attached to a camera, you may hear and feel slight movement. This is normal, and there is extra cushioning inside the lens to help prevent damage in this situation.
Excellent image quality
Again, thanks to the Canon RF lens mount, the RF85mm F1.4 L VCM lens offers great optical quality. Its optical design includes one UD lens and one aspheric lens as well as Air Sphere Coating (ASC) to reduce ghosting, and Fluorine coating on the front and rear lens surfaces to help mitigate smudges. On top of that, this lens features the same dust- and water-resistance found on L-series lenses with seals around the Control ring, focus ring, zoom ring, operation panel, and lens mount.
Let’s get moving on the conversation about videos!
This lens is part of a family of “hybrid” lenses that focus on video creation as much as still photography. To that end, this lens features a manual iris control ring so you can smoothly change the aperture from f/1.4 to f/16 during video capture. Thanks to advancements in lens design, focus breathing on this lens is extremely minimal, and backlit images are sharp. Combine all of these features, and you’ve got a great video lens in your hands.

With a minimum focus distance of just under 2.5 feet, an f/1.4 aperture, and a uniquely portrait look you can capture some really compelling imagery that is sure to capture attention.
