Canon RF-S 7.8mm f/4 STM Dual Lens Overview

The Canon RF-S 7.8mm f/4 STM Dual Lens is an innovative stereoscopic lens designed for Canon APS-C EOS R mirrorless cameras. Unlike Canon's VR180 fisheye lenses, this lens is optimized for capturing natural-looking spatial photos and videos with a more realistic field of view. Its dual-lens design records left and right images simultaneously onto a single image sensor, making it ideal for spatial content viewed on compatible VR and mixed-reality devices. 

Each optical path features two Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements to minimize chromatic aberrations while maintaining excellent sharpness and color accuracy. The Gear-Type STM autofocus system delivers smooth and quiet focusing for both photography and video, while the compact 131g design makes it perfect for handheld shooting, travel, education, product demonstrations, and immersive content creation. The lens integrates seamlessly with Canon's EOS VR System for streamlined post-production workflows.
