Canon RF5.2mm f2.8L Dual Fisheye 3D VR Lens RF5.2MM

The RF5.2mm f/2.8L Dual Fisheye captures 180-degree 3-Dimensional (3D) stereoscopic visuals by using the parallax of the left and right fisheye lenses. This design enables a single sensor to receive light from both lenses, simplifying the recording of Virtual Reality (VR) videos via a single camera.

Streamline Virtual Reality Production Workflow

Large Aperture of f/2.8

Dual-Lens Electro-Magnetic Diaphragm

ND Filters

The RF5.2mm f/2.8L Dual Fisheye is designed with a gelatin filter holder that allows Neutral Density (ND) filters to be used when shooting outdoors.

SWC

Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) offers exceptional anti-reflection capability that effectively suppresses ghosting in backlit situations, especially during VR imaging.

Dust- & Drip-Resistance

Sealings at all the crucial points of the lens provide a good dust- and drip-resistance for use in most outdoor conditions.

How Virtual Reality Imaging Works

Two Fisheye Lenses

Recording is done with parallax using two fisheye lenses on one sensor.

Conversion

Through software, recordings are converted into equirectangular projections, a standard Virtual Reality format.

Projected to HMD

Cropped and converted recordings are projected into a head-mounted display (HMD) to simulate a human's vision.

3D Realism

The recordings will appear 3-Dimensional (3D) when viewed individually by the left and right eye due to parallax effect.
