What are Canon's dual lenses used for? This piece of cutting-edge technology has not gained much attention from photographers, so I decided to explore it. It can also be used outside the world of virtual reality - for creating remarkable videos, for example.
In the video, we work with the new Canon RF-S 3.9mm F3.5 STM Dual Fisheye lens, as well as the older professional model Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye.

May be a silly question but will the 3.9mm work with the Canon C70 or Red Komodo which are only Super 35mm? I love the RAW and XF-AVC format/codecs. How do you find the VR Utility - seems badly designed. I am thinking of developing my own App for the AVP.

I got the 5.2mm dual fisheye lens for canon's full frame lineup and its a really good lens to capture reality. In fact combined with a r5c you can record 8k 60fps vr videos, where others can only do 30fps. Canon is saving vr video with that lens. The newer one (3.9mm) is a bit flawed though, you only get 144°fov, compared to 180° and the cameras that its used on cant even record in 8k. Its a bit of a shame.

The R5c is not giving you actual 8k. Far from it. It is physically impossible. Canon is just stitching to an 8k output. This lens is a smart move as the ppd will probably be on par with the 5.2mm. If an 8k aspc sensor ever comes out it will blow past the 5.2mm.

@@JFreshInEffect I dont know, it records a bit over 8k, but the lens is projecting 2 circular images on the lens, which does result in lose pixels. So when it gets converted to equirectangular projection you are not getting real real 8k. It is the same for this new 3.9mm lens though, you dont get the full sensor.

It is only flawed if you need more FOV. The R5C solution if over $5000 if you are just buying the camera for that and then you cen get the R7 solution is half as much. Becouse of less FOV you get an effective Resulotion of over 5K when compared to the full frame 180FOV solution and you get Auto Focus that is not available in the full frame 3D lens. The wider FOV means the picture is spread out and for 180 you will need at least 6k but at 144 FOV 4K is not as bad as it sounds. 60FPS can be important but not as important as it is for 360VR. Of course 60FPS is important on any camera if you want shoot fast moving subjects or want to add some Slow Motion. So bottom line buy the tool you need that falls within your budget. Some will pick the R7 even if they can afford the R5C solution just becouse of the Auto Focus.

Isn't that for making 3D photos?

Hi, primarily, it is meant to be used for videos for VR headsets, but I really liked the option to create "normal" videos for "normal" viewing on RU-vid - that's the reason why I made this piece... Jan
