Is the canon rf 85mm f 1 4l vcm good on aps c?
Yes, it works on APS-C, but it becomes a fairly long lens there. The Canon RF 85mm f/1.4L VCM frames like about 136mm, and f/1.4 gives roughly the depth of field of f/2.2. That suits tight headshots and smooth backgrounds, with room between you and your subject.
It's less useful indoors or for full-length portraits, where you'd be standing a long way back. For those, a portrait lens guide suggests a 35mm or 50mm-class lens instead.
If you're pairing it with an APS-C body, these are the Canon RF bodies that fit it:
- Canon EOS R7, the best match for reach and speed
- Canon EOS R10, a lighter option
- Canon EOS R50, the most affordable
