The RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens is Canon's optical solution to the many challenges that have troubled VR image makers for years. This lens features a beautifully engineered and optimized folded optical design, with separate Left and Right optical systems - helping you capture stereoscopic 3D imagery with a 190° field of view to a single full-frame image sensor.

VR with Ease

Pairing just this one lens to an EOS R5 camera provides the capability of delivering a single file - creating a powerful and convenient solution compared to traditional VR systems. This saves time and effort behind the camera, and in post-production by helping to solve issues such as multi-camera positioning, multi-lens syncing, image stitching, audio syncing, encoding and more compared to capturing a 3D scene with two separate fisheye lenses and recording that imagery with two separate cameras or image sensors.

A Convenient VR Workflow

Canon’s EOS VR Utility software can easily convert footage from dual fisheye to an equirectangular file that can be exported in various file formats and resolutions. For Adobe users, the EOS VR Plug-in allows for equirectangular conversion to be done within the Adobe Premiere Pro application. Now, conversion, editing, and colour grading can be done without leaving the Adobe ecosystem. Both paid subscription-based Canon software solutions
