Canon RF-S 3.9mm f/3.5 STM Dual Fisheye VR Lens

The Canon RF-S 3.9mm f/3.5 STM Dual Fisheye VR Lens represents a significant leap forward in the realm of virtual reality content creation, particularly for users of the Canon EOS R7 Mirrorless Camera. Designed as an APS-C mount lens, it uniquely enables the capture of stereoscopic 3D 180° VR imagery, offering an immersive experience unparalleled by traditional filmmaking or photography lenses. This lens is specially made for the Canon EOS R7 mirrorless camera, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance. While it's designed for the APS-C format, it's worth noting the unique dual fisheye design that differentiates it from traditional lenses. Its aperture range of f/3.5 to f/16 offers versatility in various lighting conditions, from well-lit to low light environments, preserving the immersive experience without compromising on quality. The focal length of 3.9mm provides a remarkably wide angle that produces a stereoscopic 3D effect, perfect for virtual reality content. The full-frame equivalent focal length is approximately 6.2mm, indicative of its ultra-wide perspective.

Tailored for producing virtual reality content, it facilitates the capture of high-quality VR imagery suitable for professional applications. The dual fisheye design allows for the simultaneous capture of two images that are merged to create a cohesive stereoscopic 3D 180° VR experience, providing depth and immersion into the virtual space. An STM Stepping Autofocus Motor ensures quiet, smooth, and precise focusing abilities, critical when recording video to reduce noise interference and achieve soft transitions between focus points. Its 30.5mm rear filter thread allows for the addition of various filters to enhance or protect your captured imagery, offering creative flexibility and safeguarding the lens elements.

Each fisheye lens covers a wide 144° field of view, contributing to the lens’s ability to produce immersive VR content with substantial depth and space perception. The lens also features an air sphere coating which helps reduce lens flare and ghosting, maintaining high image quality even in challenging lighting conditions, ensuring that VR content remains clear and vibrant. A 7-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality in the imagery's non-stereoscopic areas, enhancing the overall visual experience by offering smoother, more natural bokeh effects.
