Canon RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye

Capture more than just virtual views
Capture the world in virtual reality with the RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE, a compact, stereoscopic L-series RF lens. Combined with other Canon EOS VR SYSTEM products, including a camera and software solution, it can capture razor-sharp content that transforms images into a stunning visual experience, immersing you in the surrounding environment.

Incredibly convenient 180° virtual reality (3D) capture
The compact single-mount design simplifies quick camera setups for professional stereoscopic 180° virtual reality capture when using compatible full-frame RF-mount cameras such as the EOS R5.

Efficient and streamlined workflow
With a 190° stereoscopic field of view, two offset circular fisheye images are perfectly synchronised and recorded side-by-side on a single Full Frame sensor, ready to be seamlessly processed by Canon's powerful EOS VR Utility/ EOS VR plug-in for final editing, without any additional assembly.

High quality image capture
Featuring two perfectly aligned front-facing fisheye lenses, the RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE uses two UD elements per lens to correct aberrations, as well as Canon's special SWC coatings to reduce ghosting and flare, even in backlight conditions.

Wide f/2.8 aperture for low-light shooting
The RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE works perfectly in low light thanks to a large f/2.8 aperture with synchronized exposure and precise control via an electromagnetic double diaphragm (EMD) design.

L-series build quality and weather resistance
As part of the L-series, this 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE RF lens is designed for professional use. It is dust and splash resistant and has also been fluorine-coated to prevent water and dirt from adhering to the lens surface.

Gelatin filter holder for precise exposure control
The RF 5.2mm F2.8L DUAL FISHEYE features a rear-mounted gelatin filter holder for pre-cut ND gels that can be used to precisely control light levels on 180° virtual reality video productions.
