This lens is a “hybrid” powerhouse, balancing the artistic distortion of a fisheye with professional L-series durability and advanced video features.
Dynamic Zoom and Field of View
Circular to Diagonal Fisheye: On a full-frame camera, 7mm produces a fully circular image with a 190° view, while 14mm provides a frame-filling diagonal fisheye with a 180° view.
APS-C Optimization: Features a “C” mark on the zoom ring (approx. 8.7mm) to indicate where the image fully covers an APS-C sensor without vignetting.
Extreme Close-Focusing: A minimum focus distance of just 5.9″ allows the front of the lens to sit roughly 2″ from your subject, creating exaggerated perspectives and immense depth of field.
Specialized Optical Design
L-Series Optics: Includes 5 Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements and 2 aspherical elements to maintain high sharpness and color accuracy across the ultra-wide frame.
Advanced Coatings: Air Sphere (ASC) and Super Spectra (SSC) coatings are applied to combat the flare and ghosting common in lenses with such wide angles of view.
Internal Mechanics: Both zoom and focus are internal, meaning the lens does not change physical length, making it ideal for use on gimbals.
Professional Video and VR Features
Drop-In Filter System: Unique for a bulbous fisheye, this lens uses a rear drop-in filter slot. You can swap filters (like Variable NDs or Polarizers) without removing the lens from the camera.
Optimized Focus: Uses a lead-screw STM motor for fast, silent AF. Focus breathing is virtually non-existent, ensuring stable compositions during focus pulls.
VR Ready: Fully supported by the Canon EOS VR System for creating 2D monoscopic VR content.
Rugged Build and Handling
Weather-Sealed Construction: Built to L-series standards to withstand dust and moisture in extreme environments.
Customizable Controls: Includes a programmable Control Ring and Lens Function (L-Fn) button for instant access to settings like aperture or ISO.
Zoom Lock Switch: Allows you to lock the lens or limit the zoom range for consistent framing.
Fluorine Coating: The front element repels water and oil, essential for a lens where the glass is often positioned close to the action.
