The RF-S 3.9mm f3.5 STM DUAL FISHEYE provides a left and right perspective, neatly combined into one compact dual fisheye optical design. At launch, it's compatible with the Canon EOS R7 camera via firmware update.
The 144º recording angle provides a narrower field-of-view compared to VR180 shooting which is possible with the first lens of this type, the RF 5.2mm f2.8L IS USM Dual Fisheye lens. This, alongside the large depth of field, makes it easy for users to set up and keep attention on their subject – with less concern about supporting equipment, such as lighting or tripods making it into the shot.
The RF-S 3.9mm f3.5 STM DUAL FISHEYE is the first 3D lens with Autofocus (AF) from Canon, with a One Shot Autofocus (AF) setting to further simplify the creation process. It's also the first non-L Series lens to feature premium quality Air Sphere coating which prevents aberrations, such as flare and ghosting. It utilises two UD elements per lens, helping to produce sharp images.
For even greater creative flexibility, the RF-S 3.9mm f3.5 STM DUAL FISHEYE has a rear mounted filter holder for both screw-on and gelatin filters.
When it comes to viewing the content captured on the RF-S 3.9mm f3.5 STM DUAL FISHEYE in a headset, the 3D stereoscopic lens brings high levels of realism. The 144-degree viewing angle results in a natural, forward-facing view that uses peripheral vision to fully immerse the viewer. When viewed through a compatible headset, simulations also benefit from the lens’ 60mm interpupillary distance, which closely resembles human vision – providing a realistic 3D effect for subjects.
