Canon Dual Fisheye lens

Canon has recently unveiled the new RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens, dubbed as the world’s first digital interchangeable dual fisheye lens capable of shooting stereoscopic 3D 180° VR imagery to a single image sensor. The RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye features L-series optics engineered with an interpupillary distance of 60mm for delivery of 3D imagery in VR with natural parallax. The dual fisheye design provides exposure control with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 to a deep depth of field of f/16 with electronically-controlled apertures enabling the dual fisheye lens to operate like other RF mount lenses. Canon mentioned that fluorine coating is used on the front to help prevent water, oil, and other surface residues like fingerprints from sticking to the lens, which facilitates quick and easy wiping, without the use of solvents. Check out the additional features of Canon’s first interchangeable, stereoscopic 3D 180° VR 180 lens include: • Close-focusing distance of 7.87-inches/0.2m is possible - max magnification is 0.03x. Canon’s EOS VR Utility will offer the ability to convert clips from dual fisheye images to equirectangular and make quick edits, as well as select the resolution and file format before export. The Canon RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens is priced at USD 1,999 and will be available in the US in late December 2021.
