However, it does exhibit significant vignetting at the wide end and some distortion at 14mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lens features a Nano-USM focus system that is fast, quiet, and precise. It also includes 5.5 stops of image stabilization which can be increased to 7 stops when paired with the R5 Mark II&#8217;s in-body stabilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about this excellent lens, you might want to watch Canon&#8217;s introductory video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing the Canon RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM Lens\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4F1diGndugc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The lens is constructed with 16 elements in 12 groups and includes 9 circular aperture blades.

The lens is also weather-sealed for added durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the lens barrel, there is a control ring located towards the front, along with two switches: one for toggling between autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF), and another for turning the image stabilizer on or off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lens measures approximately 3.3 inches (84.1 mm) in diameter and 3.9 inches (99.8 mm) in length, with a weight of about 1.2 lbs (540g).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Image Size<\/strong><\/td><td>Full Frame<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Focal Length (mm)<\/strong><\/td><td>14-35mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum &amp; Minimum Aperture<\/strong><\/td><td>F4-F22 (at all zoom settings)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Angle of View (<strong>Diagonal<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/td><td>114\u00b000 \u2013 63\u00b000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lens Construction<\/strong><\/td><td>16 elements in 12 groups<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Aperture Blades<\/strong><\/td><td>Circular (9 blades)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Minimum Focusing Distance<\/strong><\/td><td>7.9 in.

It has a minimum focusing distance of 1.31 feet (0.40 meters) and is weather-sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the lens lacks built-in image stabilization, you can achieve 5 stops of stabilization when paired with the R5 II&#8217;s in-body stabilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lens barrel includes a control ring at the front and two switches: a focus limiter switch and an AF\/MF switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lens measures approximately 3.54 inches (89.8mm) in diameter and 4.25 inches (108.0mm) in length, and it weighs about 2.09 pounds (950 grams).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Image Size<\/strong><\/td><td>Full-Frame<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Focal Length<\/strong><\/td><td>50mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum &amp; Minimum Aperture<\/strong><\/td><td>F1.2-F16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Angle of View (<strong>Diagonal<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/td><td>46\u00b000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lens Construction<\/strong><\/td><td>15 elements in 9 groups<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Aperture Blades<\/strong><\/td><td>10 (Circular)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Minimum Focusing Distance<\/strong><\/td><td>1.31 ft. \/ 0.40m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum Magnification<\/strong><\/td><td>0.19x<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Image Stabilizer OIS<\/strong><\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Image Stabilizer IBIS x OIS<\/strong><\/td><td>5 stops when used with a camera with IBIS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><strong>Filter Diameter<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>77mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum Outer Diameter x Length<\/strong><\/td><td>\u03a63.54 in. \/ \u03a689.8mm x 4.25 in. \/ 108.0mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>2.09&nbsp;lb \/ 950&nbsp;g<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Outstanding build quality and weather sealing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amazing optical performance across the frame<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very good contrast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lovely smooth bokeh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accurate autofocus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good control of flare and aberrations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Very expensive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: var(--body-color,var(--color-body)); font-family: var(--body-font-family,unset); font-size: var(--body-font-size,var(--font-size-md)); font-style: var(--body-font-style,normal); font-weight: var(--body-font-weight,unset);\">Large and heavy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"whats-in-the-box\">What\u2019s in the Box<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>RF 50mm F1.2 L USM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lens Cap E-77II<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lens Dust CAP RF<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lens Hood ES-83<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lens Case LP1319 II&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about the Canon RF 50mm F1.2L USM lens, I recommend watching this review by Tony &amp; Chelsea.

It is constructed with 17 elements in 13 groups, including aspherical and Super UD elements, and features SWC and Super Spectra coatings. As an L-series lens, it is weather-sealed with fluorine coatings that help protect against dust and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key features include a minimum focusing distance of 2.3 feet (0.7 meters) and a nine-blade circular aperture diaphragm.

The constant f\/2.8 aperture allows for excellent low-light performance and consistent exposure settings throughout the zoom range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EF version of this lens was a prime 300mm f\/2.8, but despite the switch to a zoom lens this lens retains the bright and constant f\/2.8 maximum aperture as well as excellent sharpness throughout the zoom range, even with the 1.4x or 2x extenders attached. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dual Nano USM system uses both a ring type USM and an STM mechanism to realize quick and accurate focusing. The smooth and nearly silent focusing suits both photography and video applications and there is also full-time manual focus control available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The internal focusing and zoom design maintains the overall length of the lens during shooting and this also provides much more robust weather sealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As phenomenal as this lens is it also comes with a phenomenal price tag of around $9,499!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Image Size<\/strong><\/td><td>Full Frame<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Focal Length<\/strong><\/td><td>100-300mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum &amp; Minimum Aperture<\/strong><\/td><td>F2.8 &#8211; F22<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Angle of View (<strong>Diagonal<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/td><td>24\u00b0 to 8\u00b0 15&#8242;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lens Construction<\/strong><\/td><td>23 Elements in 18 Groups<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Aperture Blades<\/strong><\/td><td>Circular (9 blades)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Minimum Focusing Distance<\/strong><\/td><td>5.9&#8242; \/ 1.8&nbsp;m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum Magnification<\/strong><\/td><td>0.06 to 0.16x<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Image Stabilizer OIS<\/strong><\/td><td>5.5 stops optical IS correction lens body<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Image Stabilizer IBIS x OIS<\/strong><\/td><td>Up to 6 stops Coordinated IS correction with a supported camera body<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Filter Diameter<\/strong><\/td><td>112 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum Outer Diameter x Length<\/strong><\/td><td>Approx. \u00f85 in. x 12.7 in.
