Maximum aperture
Maximum aperture	f/1.4	f/2.8–3.5
Minimum aperture
Minimum aperture	f/16	f/22–29
Optical construction
Optical construction	Fourteen elements in eleven groups	16 elements in 11 groups
Special elements
Special elements	Two UD and two glass-moulded aspherical elements; ASC and Super Spectra coatings; front 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	Eleven blades with 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	Canon RF mount for full-frame and APS-C EOS R cameras; RF extenders not compatible. Canon's specification footnote says the iris ring cannot control still-photo aperture on EOS R cameras released before May 2024, and warns that iris-ring operation during movie autofocus can occasionally cause inconsistent focus and aperture on those cameras	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
Teleconverter support	–	Canon RF extenders not compatible
Focus and stabilisation
Autofocus
Autofocus	Yes	Yes
Minimum focus distance
Minimum focus distance	0.28 m	0.15 m (autofocus)
Maximum magnification
Maximum magnification	0.18×	0.35× (autofocus)
Optical stabilisation
Optical stabilisation	No	No
Autofocus detail
Autofocus detail	Electronic floating focus control combines VCM and Nano USM motors	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 0.28 m	Maker specifies 0.15 m throughout the 7–14 mm range in autofocus
Magnification detail
Magnification detail	Maximum 0.18×	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	No optical stabiliser; in-body stabilisation depends on the camera	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
