Crafted to meet the demands of both photographers and videographers, the Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM is a fast, ultra-wide-angle prime lens that excels in hybrid content creation. With a function-first design, it offers superior image quality, responsive autofocus, minimal focus breathing, and silent, customizable handling, making it a versatile tool for modern creators.
Optimized for Photography
Perfect for nature, landscape, architecture, interior, and street photography, this ultra-wide prime delivers dynamic, expansive compositions with a striking sense of space and depth.
- Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture allows for creative depth of field control and exceptional low-light performance—ideal for astrophotography.
- Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) and Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics (BR) elements minimize chromatic aberrations, ensuring outstanding clarity and color accuracy.
- Air Sphere (ASC) and Subwavelength Structure Coatings (SWC) reduce flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast in backlit scenes.
- 7.9" minimum focusing distance and 0.19x magnification make it equally adept at capturing close-up details.
- Rounded 11-blade diaphragm produces smooth, creamy bokeh for creative background separation.
Optimized for Video
Designed with video creators in mind, this lens offers smooth handling and precise control for cinematic results.
- Manual aperture ring with a de-click switch enables fluid, silent iris adjustments.
- Minimized focus breathing maintains consistent composition when racking focus.
- Linear focus motor offers precise and intuitive manual focus control.
- Matches the Hybrid series primes in size and design, with a 67mm front filter ring for seamless rigging and lens swaps.
VCM and Nano USM Autofocus System
Engineered for both photo and video performance, the autofocus system combines speed and precision:
- Nano Ultrasonic Motor (USM) drives the floating focusing system, while a Voice Coil Motor (VCM) controls the rear focusing group—delivering fast, near-silent autofocus, perfect for video recording.
- Floating focus design ensures consistent image quality from 7.9" to infinity.
- AF/MF switch and full-time manual focus override allow for quick and intuitive focus adjustments.
Professional Build & Handling
Despite its fast aperture, the RF 20mm f/1.4 maintains a compact, lightweight design, making it practical for everyday use.
- Similar in size (3 x 3.9") and weight (1.1 lb) to other Hybrid series prime lenses for consistency and convenience.
- 67mm front filter thread and an included rear filter holder for pre-cut gel filters—perfect for multi-filter scenarios or long-duration setups.
- Features a customizable Control Ring and Function Button, enabling quick access to frequently used settings.
- L-Series durability and weather resistance make it reliable in challenging shooting conditions.
Whether you're capturing expansive landscapes, immersive video scenes, or low-light astrophotography, the Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM delivers professional-grade performance with intuitive handling.

Ordered a lens on Friday. Item was delivered to me on Monday. Arrived in excellent condition in perfect working order. Not only did I pay a very reasonable price, but the shipping was free ! I will definitely do business with Pixel Connection again should the need arise !
I cannot say enough good things about Pixel Connection. I've bought multiple camera bodies - new and used - from them, along with several lenses, and they simply cannot be beat. Super helpful on the phone, good prices, and willing to work with customers to make the right solution happen. Pixel Connection is where I look first when buying camera equipment.
I am a cosmetic dentist so my photography is very important to me. I needed my camera set up for ease of use and custom settings. Jesse and Sam are so knowledgeable. Those two men helped me quickly and the Pixel store is open until 7 pm so I was able to get this done before my next working day! I also noticed Pixel has everything one needs for cameras, video and audio, social media, drones and even film! Check this store out for yourself for quality service and products!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My latest experience with ThePixelConnection was absolutely phenomenal. Matt and Ari went above and beyond to ensure I got the camera I needed, even when it seemed impossible.
The item I needed was out of stock everywhere else, but they didn’t stop there—they took the extra step to contact the manufacturer directly and managed to secure a new unit straight from the factory. Thanks to their incredible effort, I received my camera just in time for an important event.
What truly sets ThePixelConnection apart is the personal touch they bring to every interaction. Unlike my experiences with B&H—which, while efficient and resourceful, often feel very clinical and transactional—ThePixelConnection makes you feel like a genuinely valued customer.
I’ve worked with B&H for years and spent a small fortune with them, but if ThePixelConnection has what I need, they’re always my first choice. Their team is passionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to ensuring you get exactly what you’re looking for.
Matt, in particular, is a seasoned professional with extensive expertise in photography and their product lineup. His guidance and dedication made the entire process effortless and stress-free.
If you’re looking for exceptional service from a team that truly values its customers, look no further than ThePixelConnection. They’ve earned my loyalty, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

“Quick and easy and with the option for in-store pickup.”

“I have pre-ordered two cameras with Pixel Connection and both times have been wonderful experiences. Staff have been kind and helpful both times. They provided updates weekly and even provided me an option to purchase a different color camera when it became available before my pre-ordered color. They were also prompt with their shipping once payment was completed!”
