Special elements
Special elements	One plastic-moulded aspherical and one UD element; Super Spectra coating; no fluorine coating	Five UD and two replica aspherical elements
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, circular aperture	Nine aperture blades
Angle of view
Angle of view	–	Horizontal 190°–149°45′, vertical 190°–99°50′ and diagonal 190°–180° on full frame
Projection
Projection	–	Circular 190° fisheye at 7 mm and frame-filling diagonal 180° fisheye at 14 mm on full frame; circular mode uses equidistant projection; neither is rectilinear
Mount and compatibility
Mounts
Mounts	Canon RF	Canon RF
Image circle
Image circle	Full frame	Full frame
Compatibility
Compatibility	Full-frame Canon RF mount; compatible with APS-C EOS R bodies; RF extenders 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)

Teleconverter support	–	Canon RF extenders not compatible
Focus and stabilisation
Autofocus
Autofocus	Yes	Yes
Minimum focus distance
Minimum focus distance	0.14 m	0.15 m (autofocus)

Maximum magnification	0.5×	0.35× (autofocus)
Optical stabilisation
Optical stabilisation	Yes	No
Autofocus detail
Autofocus detail	STM autofocus and electronic manual focusing; inner barrel extends towards closer focus	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	–	Maker specifies 0.15 m throughout the 7–14 mm range in autofocus
Magnification detail
Magnification detail	Half-life-size 0.5× maximum reproduction, not 1:1	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 five stops with EOS R under CIPA, yaw/pitch; coordinated IS rated 6.5 stops with EOS R5 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
