Canon announces two new pro-level ultra-wide lenses
Canon has announced two new professional RF-mount lenses, expanding its ultra-wide offerings for photographers and filmmakers working across stills, video and VR.
The RF 7–14mm F2.8–3.5L FISHEYE STM and RF 14mm F1.4L VCM are both scheduled to arrive in Australia later this year.
RF 7–14mm F2.8–3.5L FISHEYE STM
The RF 7–14mm F2.8–3.5L FISHEYE STM is Canon’s first fisheye zoom lens for the RF mount. When used on a full-frame EOS R camera, it provides a 190 degree circular fisheye image at 7mm and a 180 degree diagonal fisheye image at 14mm.
On APS-C bodies, the widest setting delivers an effective focal length of approximately 8.7mm for frame-filling diagonal fisheye images.
The lens builds on the EF 8–15mm f/4L Fisheye USM with a wider focal range, faster maximum aperture and reduced weight. Canon has included a rear drop-in filter system that supports optional circular polarising and variable ND filters, allowing adjustments without attaching filters to the front element.
A minimum focusing distance of 0.15m supports close-range fisheye compositions. The optical design includes two replica aspherical elements, five UD elements and Air Sphere Coating to control aberrations and reduce flare and ghosting. STM autofocus with focus breathing suppression is designed to support both stills and video capture.
Circular fisheye video recorded with compatible cameras can be converted to 2D 180 degree VR files using Canon’s EOS VR Utility. The lens weighs approximately 476g and features weather-sealed L-series construction.
RF 14mm F1.4L VCM
The RF 14mm F1.4L VCM is a rectilinear ultra-wide prime designed for landscape, architecture, interiors and astrophotography. It offers a 114 degree diagonal angle of view and a fast f/1.4 aperture, enabling lower ISO shooting in low-light conditions and greater depth of field control.
Despite its wide aperture, the lens remains relatively compact at around 578g. Image quality is supported by three glass-moulded aspherical elements, along with Fluorite, BR and UD elements to reduce sagittal coma flare and chromatic aberration.
Canon’s Sub Wavelength Structure Coating and Air Sphere Coating are used to minimise flare and ghosting.
Autofocus is driven by a Voice Coil Motor, with focus breathing suppression included for video work. Hybrid features include an 11-blade circular aperture, a dedicated iris ring, a control ring and a lens control button. The lens is sealed against dust and moisture as part of Canon’s L-series design standard.
Pricing and availability
Both lenses are scheduled to be available in Australia from late April 2026.
Recommended pricing for the RF 7–14mm F2.8–3.5L FISHEYE STM is listed at $2,799 and the RF 14mm F1.4L VCM at $3,899.
