I ordered mine at B&H. I'd also order it at Adorama or at Crutchfield, or get it used if you know How to Win at eBay.
This 100% all-content, junk-free website's biggest source of support is when you use those or any of these links to my personally approved sources I've used myself for way over 100 combined years when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live. Canon does not seal its boxes in any way, so never buy at retail or any other source not on my personally approved list since you'll have no way of knowing if you're missing accessories, getting a defective, damaged, returned, non-USA, store demo or used lens — and all of my personally approved sources allow for 100% cash-back returns for at least 30 days if you don't love your new lens. I've used many of these sources since the 1970s because I can try it in my own hands and return it if I don't love it, and because they ship from secure remote warehouses where no one gets to touch your new lens before you do. Buy only from the approved sources I've used myself for decades for the best prices, service, return policies and selection.

Introduction top
I buy only from these approved sources. I can't vouch for ads below. |
This is a bizarre dual-lens lens system intended for 3D stereoscopic use on the R7 for virtual reality (VR) and other similar uses.
It attempts to shoot in stereoscopic (3D) for VR applications, however its two lenses are so close together (only a half-inch or 11.8mm) that I doubt there will be much stereoscopic effect. That's why I call this pseudo~stereoscopic. Canon only claims it has a stereo effect out to a subject distance of about 20 inches (half a meter).
Ships 14 November 2024.
7.8mm on APS-C sees a similar angle of view to what a 12.6mm fisheye sees on full-frame - but we're talking only on a left- or right-half of either sensor.
60º angle of view.
9 elements in 7 groups.
2.7" (69.2mm) diameter by 1.6" (41.5mm) extension from flange.
My full review is coming when I get the one I ordered from B&H.
