Canon Hybrid Lenses FAQs
Learn more about what a Hybrid Lens is and what they are good for, plus tips and tricks on how to use these lenses to shoot incredible photos.

  • What is a hybrid lens?

    Hybrid lenses are tailored for modern day photographers and videographers who are expected to deliver both photo and video, combining fast autofocus, large apertures, and a unified lens size for efficient workflows. All primes share the same dimensions, as do the zooms, making setup and lens changes seamless.

  • What does VCM stand for?

    The Canon VCM autofocus technology refers to a Voice Coil Motor - which uses magnetic force to move lens elements smoothly and quietly, making it suitable for advanced video work. Resulting in smooth, fast focus transitions that minimise focus breathing.

  • Why are Canon Z lenses ideal for video?

    Canon Z lenses are ideal for video thanks to their fast, silent USM autofocus and compatibility with accessories like the PowerZoom adapter PZ-E1, which enables smooth, adjustable zoom control for cinematic style videos.

  • What makes Canon hybrid lenses different from other brands?

    Canon hybrid lenses stand out by combining fast, silent USM/VCM autofocus with a unified size design. Where all primes share the same dimensions and zooms match each other - making lens swaps and accessory use seamless. Along with advanced features like reduced focus breathing and smooth video compatibility, these designs are tailored for modern users who need high-quality performance for both photo and video.

  • Which Canon lenses are best for hybrid shooting?

    The best Canon lenses for hybrid shooting depend on the genre you're shooting. But the versatile RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Z is a top choice for many, thanks to its fast autofocus, image stabilization, and broad focal range.

    For larger apertures, the prime VCM lenses like the RF 20mm, 35mm, and 85mm f/1.4L VCM cover everything from wide-angle to events and portraits.
