L-R: RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM and RF 14mm F1.4L VCM
Auckland, NEW ZEALAND – 5 February 2026: Canon today expands its professional RF lens range with two new ultra-wide lenses that invite photographers and filmmakers to unleash their creativity and capture the world in dynamic new ways. With their fast apertures, compact sizes and outstanding optical quality, the RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM and RF 14mm F1.4L VCM are worlds apart from ordinary wide-angle lenses.
Introducing the world’s first 190° fisheye zoom lens1
The RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM is a unique ultra-wide RF zoom lens for dramatically different images and video. Paired with a full-frame EOS R System camera, the RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM delivers two distinctive looks: an ultra-wide 190° circular fisheye image at 7mm and a frame-filling 180° diagonal fisheye image at 14mm. On APS-C cameras, the maximum wide angle can be set to approximately 8.7mm for frame-filling 180° diagonal fisheye images2.
Building on the success of the pioneering EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM, the RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM has a wider, faster, lighter design and enhanced edge-to-edge image quality. An innovative drop-in filter system improves convenience by allowing real-time adjustment of optional circular polarising and variable ND filters, giving photographers and filmmakers precise control over lighting in any situation.
Designed for professionals who want their work to stand out, the RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM creates a striking look across a wide range of genres – from action sports and astrophotography to landscapes and expressive portraits. Focusing as close as 0.15m, this versatile zoom lens enables even greater exaggeration of creative distortion.
While offering photographers the freedom to explore a bold fisheye perspective in imaginative new ways, image quality remains tightly controlled through an advanced optical design. This includes two replica aspherical elements to suppress spherical aberrations, five Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements to reduce chromatic aberrations, and Air Sphere Coatings (ASC) to cut ghosting and flare.
Quiet leadscrew-type STM autofocus coupled with focus breathing suppression makes the RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM an accomplished lens for creative video as well as stills. Circular fisheye videos captured on a compatible camera can be converted to 2D 180° VR files via EOS VR Utility3, for immersive viewing using a VR headset. With its equidistant projection, the RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM keeps image detail consistent from the centre to the periphery. This ensures high resolution throughout, even when the image is stretched for 2D VR – so every view stays clear and captivating.
Key features of the RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM:
• World’s first fisheye zoom lens that covers a 190° angle of view4
• 7mm circular and 14mm diagonal fisheye for two different looks on a full-frame camera
• Circular fisheye with equidistant projection for easy conversion to 2D 180° VR with official Canon app5
• Aspherical and UD elements for high image quality across the frame
• Bright f/2.8-3.5 aperture for action and low-light shooting
• Drop-in filter support
• Durable L-series design with dust and moisture resistant construction6
• Lightweight at approximately 476g for ultra-portable convenience
RF 14mm F1.4L VCM: Extraordinary speed, exemplary sharpness
The RF 14mm F1.4L VCM sets a new Canon benchmark for wide-angle excellence. Ultra-wide, ultra-fast and ultra-light, this latest addition to Canon’s hybrid prime lens lineup is designed to inspire photography and video production on a grand scale.
With its expansive 114° diagonal angle of view, the RF 14mm F1.4L VCM is a great choice for capturing sweeping landscapes as well as indoor spaces. An exceptionally bright f/1.4 aperture offers greater flexibility while shooting in low light or when using a shallow depth of field to help isolate your subject.
The RF 14mm F1.4L VCM’s light weight makes it a highly practical lens for outdoor and travel photography, or working from a drone. Weighing around 578g, it’s built for shooting on the move, and the durable L-series construction ensures it is ready for demanding assignments.
Delivering remarkable image quality from the centre to the corners, even wide open at f/1.4, the RF 14mm F1.4L VCM achieves a level of performance rare for such a wide, fast design, thanks to the extensive use of specialised lens elements and coatings. Three glass-moulded (GMo) aspherical elements suppress sagittal coma flare for finely rendered point light sources such as stars, while Fluorite, BR and UD lenses reduce chromatic aberration. Ghosting and flare are minimised though the use of Canon’s sophisticated Sub Wavelength Structure Coating (SWC) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC).
The superb edge-to-edge precision at f/1.4 is one reason the RF 14mm F1.4L VCM excels at astrophotography. The large maximum aperture lets you use faster shutter speeds to reduce star trails, while keeping image quality high and ISO levels manageable. Thanks to its ultra-wide angle of view, it is also an ideal lens for professional landscape and architecture photography or for shooting tight interiors. Additionally, the hybrid design of the RF 14mm F1.4L VCM, which incorporates smooth, precise AF tracking capability along with focus breathing suppression, 11-blade circular aperture and dedicated Iris Ring6, makes it an outstanding lens for photographers who also need to shoot video.
Key features of the RF 14mm F1.4L VCM:
• High-quality rectilinear ultra-wide hybrid prime lens
• Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture for shallow depth of field and greater freedom in low light
• Outstanding sharpness and image quality right across the frame, with aspheric, UD, BR and Fluorite elements
• Voice Coil Motor7 for smooth, quiet and precise autofocus, with focus breathing suppression
• Designed for professional photographers, with added hybrid features for advanced video performance
• 11-blade circular aperture for cinematic bokeh and 22-point starburst effects
• Smooth action Iris Ring8, Control Ring and Lens Control button for intuitive manual control
• L-series build quality with dust/moisture resistance9
• Compact and lightweight for a 14mm f/1.4 lens, at approx. 578g
Pricing and availability:
Pricing will be set at dealers’ discretion. RRP pricing includes GST.
Both the RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM and RF 14mm F1.4L VCM are scheduled to be available in New Zealand from late February 2026 and are supported by Canon New Zealand’s 5-year warranty when purchased from an authorised Canon New Zealand reseller. The RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L FISHEYE STM is priced at an individual RRP of $3,299 and the RF 14mm F1.4L VCM at $4,599.
1 First lens for interchangeable lens cameras compatible with 35mm full-frame sensors. As of February 4, 2026; research by Canon.
2 180° diagonal fisheye photography is possible on EOS R System cameras with APS-C sensors when the ‘C’ mark on the zoom ring is aligned with the C index (at approximately 8.7mm). The location of the zoom limit/lock switch at wide-angle does not guarantee a diagonal fisheye image for APS-C size.
3 To record circular fisheye videos that can also be remapped into the equirectangular projection by Canon’s EOS VR Utility for 2D 180° VR viewing, you will need a compatible camera that supports Open Gate video recording. For compatible cameras visit: https://www.canon.com.au/apps/eos-vr-utility

6 Lenses with dust/moisture resistance are fitted with a rubber ring on the lens mount which may cause slight abrasion of the camera mount. This in no way affects either the lens or camera performance.
7 Important: The Voice Coil Motor in the lens emits a low-level magnetic field. While generally safe to use, we advise consulting your doctor if you have a pacemaker or any other medical device to address any concerns. When the lens is not connected to the camera or when the camera is off it may cause internal noise from the lens’s components. This is normal and not a malfunction. Minor movements during transportation do not affect performance.
8 Various limitations apply to some cameras; we recommend installing the latest Firmware update on your camera for best performance. Even with latest Firmware update on EOS R, RP, Ra, R3, R5, R6, R6 Mark II, R7, R8, R10, R50, R100 and EOS R5C when shooting still photos, the aperture value cannot be set using the iris ring.
