Coatings
Coatings	–	Three ASC coatings and Super Spectra; fluorine coating on the front element
Aperture detail
Aperture detail	–	f/2.8–22 at 7 mm and f/3.5–29 at 14 mm; maker minimum-aperture figures use 1/3-stop display
Diaphragm
Diaphragm	Nine blades with circular aperture	Nine aperture blades
Angle of view

Image circle
Image circle	Full frame	Full frame
Compatibility
Compatibility	Canon RF mount for full-frame and APS-C EOS R cameras; RF extenders and EF extension tubes not compatible	Canon EOS R full-frame or APS-C cameras; APS-C cannot show the complete circular image and uses approximately 8.7 mm for diagonal coverage (Digital Camera World)

Minimum focus distance
Minimum focus distance	0.2 m	0.15 m (autofocus)
Maximum magnification

Optical stabilisation
Optical stabilisation	Yes	No
Autofocus detail
Autofocus detail	Nano USM rear focusing system; full-time manual focus in One-Shot AF	Leadscrew-type STM focusing with position sensors; full-time manual focus; maker rear-focusing design maintains length during focus
Focus distance detail
Focus distance detail	Minimum focus 0.2 m throughout the zoom range	Maker specifies 0.15 m throughout the 7–14 mm range in autofocus
Magnification detail
Magnification detail	Maximum 0.38× at 35 mm	Maximum 0.35× at 14 mm in autofocus, measured at the image centre; do not assume identical magnification across a fisheye image
Stabilisation detail
Stabilisation detail	Optical IS rated 5.5 stops with EOS R at 35 mm under CIPA, yaw/pitch; coordinated IS rated seven stops with EOS R5 at 35 mm under CIPA, yaw/pitch	No lens optical IS; maker separately lists compatible camera IBIS at seven stops at the centre/14 mm under CIPA-2024 conditions
Video features
Video features	–	Circular fisheye material can be converted to monoscopic 2D 180° VR with EOS VR Utility on supported cameras; not a stereoscopic dual-fisheye lens; conversion compatibility depends on body and recording format
