Canon RF f1.4

I used to shoot Canon for work but no longer do. However, I’m still interested in what products they are coming out with and seen they have released a 14mm f1.4 for the RF mount.

As I write this in February 2026, it looks like Canon have the following RF range in f1.4:

RF 14mm F1.4L VCM

RF 20mm F1.4L VCM

RF 24mm F1.4L VCM

RF 35mm F1.4L VCM

RF 50mm F1.4L VCM

RF 85mm F1.4L VCM

I’m not going to talk about f1.2 here because this is the aperture that is seen as the wallet busting top of the range. But having a low light, I wouldn’t call it affordable, but less expensive lens is what I want to talk about.

Watching some of the reviews of the Canon 14mm f1.4 it has been pointed out that it isn’t technically perfect. I haven’t looked into the technical perfection of the other Canon RF f1.4 lenses but in my opinion having a bit of character to the clinical look is what this range should be about.

I still have the old Nikkor 14mm f2.8 AF D and am now wondering if Nikon will come out with a 14mm f1.4 for the Z mount. The current Nikon Z range f1.4 are the 35mm f/1.4 and the 50mm f/1.4. I do hope Nikon expand their line up in the near future.

It is nice to sometimes look over the fence to see how green the grass is growing.
