Canon RF-S 3.9mm f/3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens

Make your Story more immersive with the RF-S3.9mm F3.5 STM DUAL FISHEYE lens.

As the newest member to the EOS VR System — this lens paired with the EOS R7 (firmware 1.5.0+) 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 others.

Viewers will be able to take in the scene with vivid, engaging images by simply moving their head. This lens was designed with APS-C sensors in mind, and carries on the tradition of its big brother (RF-5.2mm F2.8 L DUAL FISHEYE) of lenses that can capture stereoscopic 3D 180° VR imagery to a single image sensor.

A new way to create VR content

Canon was the first to offer a high-resolution single sensor solution to creating VR content with the RF-5.2mm F2.8 L DUAL FISHEYE lens and the EOS R5 C camera.
With this lens paired with an EOS R7 camera, creatives, industry professionals and newcomers to VR can create an immersive experience, capturing dynamic scenes for entertainment, tourism, training & education, real estate, storytelling or anywhere you want to bring your audience to.

Stereoscopic 3D 180° VR shooting

The RF-S3.9mm F3.5 STM DUAL FISHEYE 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 144° field of view to a single full-frame image sensor.

Large aperture of f/3.5

The lens is designed with dual optical systems with coordinated electronically controlled apertures. These provide a highly adaptable aperture range — allowing you to go from a bright f/2.8 aperture in low light shooting, to a deep depth of field of f/16 for more control of your exposure in brighter environments.

Auto Focusing

Features a gear-type stepping motor (STM) with a dual-lens autofocus mechanism, which drives the left and right lenses in unison. This makes AF as simple to operate as with an ordinary RF lens.

144° field of view

This lens is designed specifically to deliver outstanding stereoscopic 3D imagery. Featuring dual 3.9mm fisheye lenses positioned with 60mm of spacing between Left and Right Lens centers, it provides an interpupillary distance closely resembling human vision with a natural parallax for a powerful, immersive experience that brings the viewer to feel they are within the scene where the video or stills image takes place.

Impressive reduction of ghosting from use of Air Sphere Coating

Canon's ASC technology decreases ghosting and reflections that may occur, when shooting in more challenging lighting conditions such as during strong backlight, providing versatility and more uniform color balance in the scene.

Canon's EOS VR System

Canon's EOS VR System is expanding and you now have two options of camera and lens combinations. The EOS VR Software Applications — The EOS VR Utility and EOS VR Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro.
This powerful and convenient combination provides much desired flexibility and efficiency, helping save you precious time accessing your content so you can prepare it and share it more quickly.

Are you ready to elevate your virtual reality (VR) content creation? The Canon RF-S 3.9mm f/3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens is here to transform your VR projects with its cutting-edge technology and innovative design. As a pivotal component of the EOS VR System, this lens is engineered to work seamlessly with the EOS R7 camera (firmware 1.5.0+) and Canon's VR software solutions, enabling the production of immersive 3D content that can be enjoyed on head-mounted displays like the Oculus Quest 2.

Specifically designed for APS-C sensors, the RF-S 3.9mm f/3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens builds on the legacy of the RF5.2mm F2.8 L DUAL FISHEYE, capturing stunning stereoscopic 3D 180-degree VR imagery on a single image sensor. This lens offers a cost-effective and high-quality solution for VR content creators, addressing the typical challenges associated with compact 180-degree cameras.

The lens features an optimized folded optical design with separate left and right optical systems, capturing stereoscopic 3D imagery with a 144-degree field of view on a single full-frame image sensor. When used with the EOS R7 (firmware 1.5.0+), it delivers a single file, streamlining the post-production process by eliminating the need for multi-camera positioning, multi-lens syncing, image stitching, and audio syncing.

Canon's EOS VR System, complete with the EOS VR Utility and EOS VR Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro, enhances flexibility and efficiency, saving you valuable time in accessing and preparing your content. The firmware is optimized for VR shooting, providing essential metadata for software to convert fisheye images to equirectangular format.

The RF-S 3.9mm f/3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens features dual 3.9mm fisheye lenses with a 60mm interpupillary distance, closely mimicking human vision for a natural parallax effect. This design creates a powerful, immersive experience, allowing viewers to feel as though they are part of the scene. The lens is equipped with a gear-type stepping motor (STM) and a dual-lens autofocus mechanism, ensuring smooth and straightforward autofocus operation akin to ordinary RF lenses. The left-right focus differential can be fine-tuned using the focusing/control ring and the left-right focus difference adjustment mode switch.

Canon's Air Sphere Coating (ASC) technology is incorporated to reduce ghosting and reflections in challenging lighting conditions. With an aperture range from f/3.5 to f/16, the lens offers extensive control over exposure in various lighting environments. Compact, lightweight, and portable, the RF-S 3.9mm f/3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens is perfect for shooting in tight spaces. It also supports filters in two ways: a 30.5mm screw-on filter at the rear of the lens and a filter holder for cut gel and polyester filters.

Experience the future of VR content creation with the Canon RF-S 3.9mm f/3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens, designed to deliver unparalleled quality and efficiency for all your immersive projects.
