Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8L Dual Fisheye Review
- Thread starter canonnews
- Start date
Fascinating Lens. I'm sure its the way of the future but I'll be left behind. I've no interest in a Matrix style future but I expect alot of people will be happy to live within a metaverse. I'm sure people will eventually have a chip in their head rather than a head set. It will be interesting if a lens like this will be used purposely for art or some good but its more likely to drive one industry into a new era.

I would not expect a consumer version any time soon.
It would require a much smaller 8K sensor and a much smaller lens.

This is about as consumer of a lens as any other "L" lens out there. Unless you're talking about a super cheap kit lens like version.

The EF15mm f2.8 is a gem and vastly underrated lens (apart from in extreme sports photography circles).

I don't think Canon think it is an issue, you can convert unlimited short clips, less than two minutes, for free. A monthly subscription for the dedicated Canon utility or the Premiere plugin is $5 a month. Subscription fees seem to be the norm in the VR universe especially hosting.
Other users have already found ways around the subscription utilities by renaming the video files.

People experienced in VR seem to know ways to circumvent the monthly fee.
I was surprised to see Canon engineers telling people how to circumvent it at the Adorams Q & A for the R5 C.
I think Canon wants people to want to use their software without being compelled to do so.

I'm a bit confused (what else is new?)...
What exactly are you needing to pay a monthly fee for? You throw on the lens, it records video onto a removable memory card....
Is the fee for software to meld the 2x circular images into one VR image? If so, is Canon the only one out there than can take 2 images off and meld them together?
Again, please forgive if this is a stupid question, but I just don't understand why there would be a monthly fee...as that I don't see what would keep you from pulling images off the memory card...and I"d assume that by now with all the VR work being done, that there would be a number of ways and apps that would put the 2x images together for you.
Thanks in advance,
cayenne
