Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM

A compact, consistently sharp L-series wide zoom with effective stabilisation for an f/4 ultra-wide — a lighter, cheaper alternative to the RF 15-35mm f/2.8L when f/4 is an acceptable trade for size and price. Popular with landscape, architecture and wedding photographers who don't need the extra stop of the f/2.8L.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
