What is the RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye compatible with?

The online marketing material looks outdated and only mentions the R5 for video. Any other cameras compatible or will become compatible soon? 

Thanks!

The User Manual states two compatible cameras as of March 2022: The R5 and R5C.  It also contains a note that it is not supported on all R-series cameras and may lead to issues with camera operation if not used with a compatible camera.  For the R5 and R5C, you'd need appropriate firmware as well.

Note that the lens was also designed for full frame cameras.  So the EOS C70 (Super 35 sensor) and R7/R10 (APS-C sensor) wouldn't benefit anyhow if supported since the angle of view would be less.

The online VR Recording Guide also only mentions the R5 and R5C.

Well, just to put a pin in it, I’ll note here that the R6 Mark II did have a firmware upgrade last summer which made it compatible with the dual fisheye lens, contrary to what you and others had tried to predict. 


Indeed it is , but his reply was in July, and support for the R62 was not added until Sept. v1.2.0  So at the time of his post, this was accurate information.  

He also encouraged you to seek an official response directly from Canon.

Can someone please tell me if Canon will make the R8 compatible with this VR lens?  If the R8 and R6 Mark ii are identical in sensors and systems then shouldn't this be an easy addition?

No one but Canon can answer this.  I haven't seen any rumors regarding this, but that doesn't mean it can't or won't happen.  If you want to request this feature, visit Canon USA and use the [+]Feedback  Link > Product to make this request.
