A 20mm ultra wide-angle lens is the fourth addition to Canon’s hybrid prime RF series, designed for creators who switch between photo and video. The £1919/$1699 RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM features quiet, precise AF. It has dramatically reduced focus breathing compared to a non-VCM lens and a separate iris ring for movie shooting. The UD and Super UD elements and Blue Refractive (BR) optics also help reduce the colour bleeding that tends to occur with large-aperture lenses. canon.co.uk MORE HYBRID GLASS FROM CANON
