Digital Camera World published its full review of the Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM  which you can read here or check out the summary below:

Features Top-end features include a customizable control ring and function button, plus a dedicated stepless aperture ring. ★★★★★
Design The design incorporates an excellent dual autofocus system and a particularly well-rounded 11-blade aperture diaphragm. ★★★★★
Performance Image quality and all-round performance are superb although, like many recent lenses, it relies on in-camera correction for distortion. ★★★★★
Value It’s certainly an expensive lens to buy but still undercuts the older EF lens for purchase price. ★★★★

Buy this…

  • You want a 35mm f/1.4 lens that works brilliantly well for both stills and video. This lens is equally excellent for both.
  • You demand the very highest standard of image quality and, like many, find that a fast 35mm lens is a must-have for your kit bag.

Don’t buy this…

  • You’d rather spend less on a lens like the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Art (EF mount), which you can use on EOS R system cameras via a mount adapter.
  • You don’t feel the need for a fast f/1.4 aperture, in which case the Canon RF 35mm F1.8 IS Macro STM is much less expensive to buy.
