Canon RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye 3D VR Lens

Experience new dimensions in visual storytelling with Canon's RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye 3D VR Lens. Designed for the EOS R5 Mirrorless Digital Camera, this L-series lens is the first to enable stereoscopic 3D 180° VR imagery on a single image sensor. By combining the high-performance fisheye lenses onto one sensor, the lens produces impressive results in a single file, streamlining the workflow by eliminating the need for syncing and stitching multiple videos. With the ability to easily switch between traditional stills or video shooting and 3D capture, and paired with the EOS R5, this lens allows for recording high-resolution DCI 8K 30fps and DCI 4K 60fps videos.

With firmware 1.5.0 or higher and one of Canon's VR software solutions, you can create immersive 3D that can be experienced when viewed on compatible head mount displays including the Oculus Quest 2 and more. Viewers will be able to take in the scene with a vivid, wide field of view by simply moving their heads. Creatives, industry professionals, and newcomers to VR can create an immersive experience, capturing dynamic scenes for entertainment, tourism, training and education, real estate, storytelling, or anywhere you want to bring your audience to.

3D 180° VR Capture

Compatible with Canon EOS R5 Mirrorless Digital Camera, this lens captures immersive 3D images for viewing on head mount displays. Achieve life-like depth with stereoscopic 3D 180° VR.

VR with Ease

Use this lens with an EOS R5 camera to create a powerful and convenient solution for capturing 3D scenes without multiple cameras and files.

EOS R5 Camera with Updated Firmware (Version 1.5.0 or Later)

Optimize your VR shooting experience with the RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye 3D lens. Firmware adds features like a Magic Window overlay and 6x/15x magnification to help with framing and focused lens adjustment.

Canon's EOS VR System

Get ready for more flexibility and efficiency with the Canon RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye 3D VR Lens and EOS R5 camera. Easily convert fisheye to equirectangular imagery and export high-quality VR images and movies with the included software (available early 2022).

Stereoscopic 3D Imagery

Featuring dual 5.2mm fisheye lenses positioned with 60mm of spacing between left and right lens centers, this lens provides an interpupillary distance closely resembling human vision. This provides for a powerful and immersive experience that brings the viewer to feel as if they are within the scene where the video or stills image takes place. Also, this lets the viewer change their viewing angle within a recorded scene so they can look around with the use of a compatible head mount display.

Dual-Synchronized Electro-Magnetic Diaphragm

Each of the left and right fisheye lenses have their own optical system, including separate but coordinated aperture mechanisms. Together they seamlessly and simultaneously control the exposure of both lenses, so setting your aperture is the same process as with any other RF lenses.

L-Series Lens Elements

Engineered with 12 elements in 10 groups and highlighted by two ultra-low dispersion glass elements and prisms in both the left and right lenses, this lens delivers impressive color and clarity with minimal chromatic aberration.

Subwavelength Structure Coating (SSC)

SWC technology decreases ghosting and reflections that may occur when shooting in more challenging lighting conditions such as during strong backlight, providing versatility and more uniform color balance in the scene.

Manual Focusing

Coordinated manual focusing of both lenses allows you to focus each lens using the manual focus ring. Additionally, a left-right focus adjustment dial lets you refine focus of the right lens separately from the left lens by using the included hexagon wrench.

Large Aperture

The RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye 3D VR lens offers a versatile aperture range for shooting in a variety of lighting conditions and includes a gelatin filter holder for additional filter options.

Compact, Lightweight, and Portable

Thanks to the RF mount and the folded optical design, the size and weight of this lens makes it easy to use in tight spaces and easy to carry in a camera bag. The lens weighs under 1 lb and is just slightly over 2" in depth from the rear mount to the front side of the lens, creating a compact, portable, and lightweight solution.

Dust- and Water-Resistant Sealing with Fluorine Coating

Built to L-series lens specifications, the lens features a highly durable RF mount design. With dust- and water-resistant sealing, you can confidently shoot in challenging weather conditions. Fluorine coating is used on the front element to help prevent water, oil, and other surface residue like fingerprints from sticking to the lens, and this also facilitates quick and easy wiping without the use of solvents.
