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

The Canon RF 5.2mm f/2.8L Dual Fisheye VR Lens is a versatile, full-frame-format lens that offers a 180° field of view, making it an excellent choice for capturing stereoscopic 3D 180° VR imagery. The lens features two ultra-low dispersion elements to produce sharp, consistent imagery with enhanced clarity. The lens itself is very compact and lightweight because of the fisheye design. This makes it easy to take on location when shooting video in tight spaces such as when getting the perfect shot in an arena, stadium, or when capturing a landscape

The Canon RF 5.2mm f/2.8L Dual Fisheye VR Lens has an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/16, and captures stereoscopic 3D 180° VR imagery. The lens has two Ultra-Low Dispersion Elements, and is great for capturing beautiful images in low-light conditions or for photographing fast-moving subjects.

The Canon RF 5.2mm f/2.8L Dual Fisheye VR Lens has a 2x zoom capability and is designed to be an ideal solution for creating circular images with a 180-degree angle of view. This lens is equipped with a fisheye lens and Super-Spectra coating, which will help to reduce the effects of ghosting and flare, while also exhibiting high contrast and vivid colors.

Product Features in Detail

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.

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.

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.

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.
