Immersive VR storytelling lens

The Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens enables stereoscopic 3D 180° VR capture onto a single image sensor. It is designed for creators producing immersive content for compatible head-mounted displays like the Oculus Quest 2. A simple lens swap lets you switch between traditional stills, video, and 3D VR capture.

EOS R5 firmware requirement

Full VR functionality requires the Canon EOS R5 camera running firmware version 1.5.0 or later. The lens captures stereoscopic 3D with a 60mm interpupillary distance and a 190° field of view. It supports DCI 8K at 30fps and DCI 4K at 60fps video recording when paired with the R5.

Subscription software workflow

Canon EOS VR Utility and the EOS VR Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro handle the image processing and stitching. Both are paid subscription-based tools expected to be available around early 2022. They simplify the workflow by combining dual fisheye imagery into a single file without manual syncing.

Questions about this item

What does the 5.2 mm focal length mean when the lens is mounted on an EOS R5?

The 5.2 mm focal length combines with the EOS R5 full-frame sensor to produce a 190° field of view that is cropped to 180° VR, giving a wide stereoscopic perspective from a single sensor.

How does the RF mount and firmware 1.5.0 limit what the lens can do?

The RF mount locks the lens to EOS R bodies, and firmware 1.5.0 or later on the EOS R5 is required to enable the stereoscopic 3D 180° VR capture mode.

What physical clearance does the dual fisheye design need on the camera?

The folded optical path with two UD-element systems sits in a single L-series barrel that mounts directly to the RF bayonet, so no extra brackets or adapters are required.
