Capture views that are more than virtual
Capture the world in virtual reality thanks to the RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE; a compact, stereoscopic L-series RF lens capable of capturing super-sharp content that – with the rest of Canon’s EOS VR SYSTEM, including a camera and software solution – transforms footage into a truly breathtaking visual experience, immersing you within the environment.
Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE lens
A virtual reality lens that simplifies the capture and post-production of professional 180° VR content. Experience the video below through using a VR headset (for a fully immersive and stereoscopic experience), a mobile device or computer. An inspirational story captured by VR Director, Mary Matheson and Director of Photography, Richard Stegmann.
Amazingly practical (3D) 180° VR capture
The compact, single mount design simplifies quick camera setups for professional stereoscopic 180° VR capture, when using compatible high resolution, Full Frame, RF mount cameras, such as the EOS R5 and R5 C.
Efficient and simplified workflow
Featuring a stereoscopic 190° field of view, two offset circular fisheye images are perfectly synchronised and recorded side-by-side onto a single Full Frame sensor, ready for Canon’s powerful EOS VR Utility/plug-in to seamlessly process for final edit, requiring no additional stitching.
RAW (8K / 60P) video workflow
Compatible RAW video files taken with supported cameras (including 8K / 60P RAW LT files from the EOS R5 C) are automatically processed within EOS VR Utility, further simplifying a RAW workflow with higher frame rates.
High quality image capture
Featuring perfectly aligned, dual forward facing fisheye lenses, the RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE utilises two UD elements per lens to correct for aberrations plus Canon’s special SWC coatings to reduce ghosting and flare, even in backlit conditions.
Fast f/2.8 aperture for low light shooting
The RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE performs superbly in low light thanks to a fast f/2.8 aperture with accurately synchronised exposure and precise control via a dual Electro Magnetic Diaphragm (EMD) design.
L-series build and weather resistance
Because it’s an L-series lens, the RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE is built for professional use. It is dust and splash resistant and features fluorine coatings to repel water and dirt on the lens surface.
Gel filter holder for precise exposure control
The RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE has a rear-mounted gelatin filter holder for pre-cut ND gels which can be used to help precisely control light levels when in use on 180° VR video productions.
