Canon RF 7-14mm F/2.8-3.5 L Fisheye STM Announced

Canon has just announced a new fisheye lens for their EOS R-series and RF-mount Cinema EOS cameras: the RF 7-14mm F/2.8-3.5 L Fisheye STM. This creative lens covers full-frame image sensors and gives you a 180° diagonal fisheye at 14mm, and a circular fisheye 190° angle of view at 7mm. So, let’s take a closer look at it! Fisheye lenses are designed to capture a very wide field of view, often creating curved lines and a unique look. Unlike regular wide-angle lenses, fisheyes add distortion on purpose, letting you fit more into the frame or achieve a certain style. They are especially popular with action-sports photographers who shoot skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, BMX, and similar activities. Canon already offers an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, the RF 10-20mm f/4 USM L IS STM, which was released in 2023. However, that lens is rectilinear and does not create the distortion or “fisheye look” you get with the new RF 7-14mm F/2.8-3.5 L Fisheye STM. Canon RF 7-14mm F/2.8-3.5 L Fisheye STM.
