It has potential

This lens offers a relatively affordable way of getting into the VR world. The idea is good but the execution is lacking. - For some unknown reason the lens requires calibration. I'm not sure why it was so hard to have the left and right lenses always in sync? - 60 mm IPD. Why not the standard 64? - The VR utility produces files without special metadata required for Apple Vision Pro. Why? The only way to view the exported videos on AVP is via 3rd party video players. - The lens exhibits a moderate amount of CA. - The cheaper APS-C variant offers initial AF, but this lens doesn't. - Missing a VR conversion plugin for DaVinci Resolve. Who's using Adobe Premiere in 2024??? Adobe is a joke, not for serious editing. - For another unknown reason Canon is using a 3rd party to process the VR utility subscriptions. I bet the subscription could be cheaper if no 3rd party would be involved. Overall, the lens is ok but as a product as a whole it is half baked. Luckily the software-related problems can be fixed, but I don't see any movement from Canon yet.

Desperately Seeking Apple Vision Pro Support

This is the perfect lens for taking stills and Movies for viewing on the Apple Vision Pro. Or it would be if the Canon software offered output to a file format that was compatible with the Vision Pro along with instructions.

Useless for 3D still image processing

I bought this lens specifically to do 3D still image picture-taking. The canon VR software does not even shows the still 3D jpeg file names. I cannot do any still 3D image processing at all. Talked to Canon and they say the VR software does not be able to process 3D still images. What a total waste of this lens if you cannot process any 3D still image.

Terrible!

The design inhibits a full 180 with lens obstructions on both sides - terrible for many uses of a 180. The requirement to pay a subscription for software to work with the images after already buying the camera is outrageous. And the software is also terribly designed, making it very hard to adapt the images, particularly the photographic ones, for diverse uses. The interaction with Adobe is also remarkably limited and poor. As a Canon user over many generations of cameras and lenses, this lens ranks as a lowest point.

Canon RF Dual Fisheye Lens.

Add a whole new dimension to your story with the RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens. As part of the EOS VR System - this lens paired with the EOS R5 updated with firmware 1.5.0 or higher and one of Canon's VR software solutions - you can create immersive 3D that can be experienced when viewed on compatible head mount displays including the Oculus Quest 2 and more. Viewers will be able to take in the scene with a vivid, wide field of view by simply moving their head. This is the worldfs first digital interchangeable lens that can capture stereoscopic 3D 180deg VR imagery to a single image sensor. Now, creators can go from traditional stills or video shooting to stereo-scopic 3D capture with a simple lens swap. The pairing of this lens and the EOS R5 camera brings high resolution video recording at up to 8K DCI 30p and 4K DCI 60p.

Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye Lens

Beautifully Engineered, Brilliant Performance.

With a beautifully engineered folded optical design, the dual high-performance L-series fisheye lenses combine imagery onto a single image sensor delivering impressive results to a single file. This can help simplify your workflow by eliminating the need to sync and stitch multiple video files. An integral part of the EOS VR System, Canon's EOS VR Utility software can easily convert footage to your choice of editing software. For Adobe Premiere Pro users, the EOS VR Plug-in software can help streamline your editing process. Both paid subscription-based software solutions (currently in development with availability and details to follow on or about early 2022) allow for convenient post-production.
