Canon Intros RF7-14mm Fisheye Zoom, RF14mm Prime Lens

Canon USA has launched the RF7-14mm F2.8-3.5 L fisheye STM zoom lens and the RF14mm F1.4 L VCM prime lens. Building on Canon's legacy of innovative optics, these new RF-mount lenses expand the diverse lineup for professional photographers, videographers, and hybrid creators. The RF7-14mm F2.8-3.5 L fisheye STM zoom lens introduces the world's widest-angle zoom lens with a 190 field of view, ideal for dynamic fisheye imagery in sports, landscapes, and virtual reality. The RF14mm F1.4 L VCM prime lens delivers Canon's brightest ultra-wide-angle interchangeable lens ever produced, a 14mm lens with a bright f/1.4 aperture, suited to astro, architecture, and video applications.

The RF7-14mm F2.8-3.5 L redefines versatility in ultra-wide-angle fisheye imaging. Continuing the heritage of the groundbreaking EF 8-15mm f/4L fisheye USM, the world's first fisheye zoom lens, this new RF lens pushes boundaries further for professionals seeking impactful, distorted perspectives. It supports a wide range of use cases, including sports, landscapes, starscapes, video, and virtual reality.

Key features:

Canon's widest single lens with a maximum 190 field of view, achieving both circular 190 fisheye at 7mm (wide) and diagonal 180 fisheye at 14mm (telephoto), with its 7-14mm zoom range.

Variable maximum aperture of f/2.8 at 7mm (wide) and f/3.5 at 14mm (telephoto), brighter than its EF predecessor for enhanced low-light performance and background separation.

Built-in support of Canon EF-to-EOS R-mount adapter drop-in filters (clear, CPL, variable ND) plus Lens Lock/Limit, Lens Function button, and Control Ring.

High image quality with five UD lens elements, two replica aspheric lenses, and Air Sphere Coating (ASC) applied in three locations to reduce ghosting.

Leadscrew-type STM focus drive with position sensors for smooth, video-capable operation and reduced focus breathing (0.4% at wide, 1.5% at tele).

Fisheye images shot can be converted using Canon EOS VR utility for viewing on a PC or head-mounted display. Conversion of 2D VR images is possible with cameras such as: EOS R5C, EOS R5 Mark II, EOS R5, EOS R6 Mark II.

This lens appeals to professional photographers and videographers seeking dynamic imagery and VR studios desiring a lens for monoscopic shooting, offering wider-angle zoom, brighter aperture, and more video capabilities than the EF 8-15mm.

The Canon RF14mm F1.4 L VCM prime lens empowers professional photographers and hybrid creators with Canon's brightest ultra-wide-angle interchangeable lens ever produced, an extremely compact and lightweight ultra-wide lens with incredible optical performance. Updating the legacy of the EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM, this lens provides ultra-wide-angle views with a fast f/1.4 aperture and controlled distortion and rectilinear characteristics from the center to image. It's designed for pro still photographers capturing landscape, astro, and starscape imagery, as well as architectural and real estate shooters, and videographers and time-lapse creators.

Canon's brightest ultra-wide-angle (14mm) interchangeable lens for hybrid photo/video use

Ultra-wide 14mm prime with f/1.4 aperture for outstanding low-light performance and background separation, brighter aperture than the EF 14mm f/2.8. Dual VCM (voice-coil-motor) focusing for fast, precise autofocus in photo and video, with reduced focus breathing (3.0%, or 2.3% up to f/20).

Compact and lightweight at 4.4 in. (long) x 3.0 in. (deep) and just 1.27 lb., providing a similar size, weight, and design complementing the comprehensive F1.4 L-series lens series (RF20mm/24mm/35mm/50mm/85mm F1.4 L VCM lenses).

Amazing optics for high image quality and sharp rendering of point light sources with Canon's first Fluorite element in an ultra-wide-angle lens and featuring BR optics, one UD lens, and three GMo aspheric lenses, plus sub-wavelength coating in one location and Air Sphere coating in two for minimized ghosting.

11-blade aperture for smooth, circular bokeh.

Iris-ring-compatible with EOS R1, EOS R5 Mark II, and EOS R6 Mark III cameras; plus Lens Function button and Control Ring.
