Product Description

Canon RF 7–14mm f/2.8–3.5 L Fisheye STM: Expansive Perspective, Creative Freedom
Bringing Canon’s optical innovation to new extremes, the RF 7–14mm f/2.8–3.5 L Fisheye STM is the first fisheye zoom lens for the RF system—offering photographers and filmmakers a massive 190° field of view with the unmistakable fisheye look. Designed for both circular and diagonal coverage, this ultra-wide zoom transforms scenes into dramatic, dynamic compositions and is ideal for action, landscape, astrophotography, architecture, and even VR content creation.

Distinctive Fisheye Optics

• Produces striking fisheye distortion with a 190° angle of view at 7mm (circular) and 180° coverage at 14mm (diagonal).

• Perfect for sports, underwater, and creative storytelling, where exaggerated perspective and depth elevate visual impact.

• Advanced optical design includes five ultra-low dispersion (UD) and two aspherical elements for superior color accuracy, contrast, and sharpness.

• Air Sphere Coating (ASC) and Super Spectra Coating (SSC) minimize flare and ghosting for vibrant, high-contrast imagery.

Versatile Zoom Range

Unlike fixed fisheye lenses, this zoom allows flexible control over the intensity of the fisheye effect and framing:

• 7mm (Full-Frame): Delivers a circular image with full 190° coverage.

• 14mm (Full-Frame): Produces a diagonal, full-frame fisheye with 180° coverage.

• APS-C Compatibility: A “C” mark on the zoom ring (around 8.7mm) indicates where the image fully covers the APS-C sensor without vignetting.

Creative Close-Focus Capabilities

With a minimum focusing distance of just 5.9", and a working distance of approximately 2" from the front element, this lens invites you to experiment with close-up perspectives. Emphasize textures, shapes, and small details while still maintaining the curved, immersive background typical of fisheye imagery.

Optimized for Hybrid Shooters

• Exceptional for video and VR, the lens’s ultra-wide angle and deep depth of field produce immersive footage.

• Drop-in filter compatibility—a rarity for fisheyes—enables use of Canon’s variable ND or circular polarizer filters for precise exposure control.

• Virtually no focus breathing thanks to a rear-focusing design, maintaining consistent framing during focus pulls.

• Internal zoom and focus mechanisms ensure balance and gimbal stability.

• A lead-screw-type STM motor with Nano USM position-sensing technology delivers fast, quiet, and accurate AF for both stills and video.

• Fully supported by the Canon EOS VR System, making it a capable choice for 2D monoscopic VR content creation.

Professional Build and Handling

• Compact yet robust, measuring 4.3" in length and weighing just over 1 lb.

• Includes a removable EW-76 petal-style lens hood (total length 5.2" when attached). Note: slight vignetting occurs below 14mm on full-frame cameras when using the hood.

• Features a customizable control ring and lens function button for personalized shooting control.

• Zoom limit/lock switch prevents accidental adjustments and helps maintain framing consistency.

• Built to L-series standards, with weather sealing and a fluorine-coated front element for durability and easy maintenance.

Rear Drop-In Filter System

One of the lens’s most innovative features is its rear drop-in filter slot, inherited from Canon’s Drop-In Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R.

• Allows convenient filter use despite the bulbous front element.

• Filters slide easily into the back of the lens—no need to remove it from the camera.

• Includes a clear filter, with optional Drop-In Variable ND Filter A and Drop-In Circular Polarizer Filter A available separately.

The Canon RF 7–14mm f/2.8–3.5 L Fisheye STM redefines creative expression in ultra-wide photography—offering the flexibility of a zoom, the artistry of a fisheye, and the durability expected from Canon’s elite L-series optics.
