Canon has unveiled the RF-S 7.8mm f/4 STM Dual VR Lens, designed as an entry-level stereoscopic VR lens for individuals interested in transforming everyday experiences into augmented reality using the Canon EOS VR System. This lens is compatible with APS-C EOS mirrorless cameras, such as the EOS R7, and features autofocus capabilities. It offers a 60 field of view that closely resembles human vision, enabling the capture of photos and videos that can be enjoyed on widely used headsets, including the Apple Vision Pro and the Meta Quest 3.
This device incorporates a gear-type stepping motor (STM) equipped with a dual-lens autofocus system, enabling synchronized movement of the left and right lenses. This design simplifies autofocus operation, making it comparable to that of a standard RF lens. A notable aspect of RF lenses that improves usability is the electronic focusing/control ring. Users can modify the left-right focus differential through the focusing/control ring, as well as via the left-right focus difference adjustment mode switch.
The lens is capable of producing content in Spatial, 3D 180, and 3D formats, utilizing a straight path optical system that incorporates two ultra-low dispersion elements to minimize chromatic aberrations. Comprising nine elements arranged in five groups, the lens is equipped with Canon’s Super Spectra Coating, which effectively reduces ghosting and flare. It accommodates light-modifying filters with a 58mm front thread, and its minimum focusing distance of 5.9 inches ensures that subjects are rendered with clarity. Additionally, the lens is both compact and lightweight, extending merely 1.6 inches from the camera and weighing just 4.6 ounces.

Render Your World in 3D Canon introduces the RF-S 7.8mm f/4 STM Dual VR Lens, an entry-level stereoscopic VR lens that’s made for anyone eager to turn the stuff of everyday life into augmented reality with the Canon EOS VR System. Compatible with APS-C EOS mirrorless cameras like the EOS R7, the autofocus-enabled lens has a 60 field of view akin to human vision and produces photos and video that can be viewed on popular headsets like the Apple Vision Pro and the Meta Quest 3. STM Autofocusing Motor Driving the RF-S 7.8mm f/4 STM Dual VR lens is a gear-type stepping motor (STM) with a dual-lens autofocus mechanism, which drives the left and right lenses quickly, quietly, and in unison. This makes autofocus as simple to operate as it is with an ordinary lens. Available for both photo and video, the electronic focusing/control ring and the left-right focus difference adjustment switch allow the option to control focus on both lenses or the left lens only. The lens is compatible with Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF autofocus system, and full-time manual focus is also supported. Design and Construction The lens creates content in Spatial, 3D 180, and 3D formats with a straight path optical system that features two ultra-low dispersion elements to suppress chromatic aberrations. With nine total elements in five groups, the lens sports Canon’s Super Spectra Coating to reduce ghosting and flare. The lens supports light-modifying filters with a 58mm front thread, and the 5.9″ minimum focusing distance means your whole world is rendered sharply. The lens is compact and lightweight, extending only 1.6″ from the camera and weighing only 4.6 oz.
