However, Canon has not already released a specific date for when their lens will be launched, but they speculate that it probably be in November 2024. The lens is also estimated to cost around $449,99, which is one of the most affordable versions compared with the rest of the lenses available. For context, their already existing dual-fishery lens that is designed to capture 3D video content such as the RF 5.2mm F2.8L Dual that costs $1.099 099 or the RF-S3.9mm F3.5 STM Dual that reaches $1,099.
Canon’s new 3D lens combined with the company’s 32.5MP EOS R7 digital camera has a starting price of $1,299 which adds up to a total price of $1,700. However, this is still fairly priced as Canon’s higher-priced end solution for 3D starts at $2,498, going as high as $6,298 when completing the needed camera gear.
The newest lens created by Canon will have an aperture range that will range from f/4.0 to f/16, supports autofocus, and has a button and a control wheel that makes a separate manual focus that adjusts from left to right.
However, the reason why this 3D lens is much cheaper is the fact that it has a limited field of view. Compared with Canon’s pricier lenses that have the ability to capture 180-degree videos and images - which translates into approximately the eye’s capability to see. On the other hand, the new lens from Canon, the RF-S7.8mm F4 STM Dual lens will only be able to capture 63 degrees.
The new lens will have one of the elements positioned in a straight optical path, resulting in an 11.8mm difference between them, in comparison to the 60mm gap that exists between the dual-fisheye lens that exists in Canon’s already existing 3D lens.
