Fish-eye

Canon's upcoming dual fisheye lens works with the EOS R5 full-frame mirrorless camera to create immersive 8K VR video, and is reported to be the first digital lens to allow for stereoscopic 3D 180-degree video capture to a single image sensor.

​Here's an extraordinary photography project worth keeping an eye on: the Lensrentals team has been working on building the widest angle fisheye lens in existence, a C-4 Optics 4.9mm, f/3.5 hyper-fisheye monster with a 270-degree field of view - that's right, it can see behind itself.

Ricoh has announced that its Theta 360-degree pocket camera is about to get some new siblings. The new Thetas are very similar in design and capabilities to the original that Gizmag reviewed last year, but have an extra trick to show off – the m15 models can nowshoot video.

Looking to take the capabilities of 360-degree cameras to a new level, a group of young French designers and engineers has created a compact video camera with a 360 x 300 degree field of view that can shoot 2048 x 1024 video at 30 fps.

After beating back the crowds for a quick hands-on at IFA in September, Gizmag has now spent the last few weeks with the Theta panoramic camera from Ricoh.

It's an IFA 2013 debut for Ricoh's new Theta camera. It's a slim, hand-held, pocket-friendly stick sporting two fish-eye lenses, one at the front and one at the back, and captures one shot spherical images at the press of a button.

The LoFi-Fisheye Digicam micro camera shoots HD video, snaps up to 12-megapixel images, and sports a high quality glass fish-eye lens.

Grays of Westminster has just sold an enormous and rare Nikkor fisheye lens for the equally gargantuan price of £100,000 to an unnamed overseas collector.

Lomography has unveiled a new addition to its LC-A range of 35mm film analog cameras, the LOMO LC-Wide offers users a choice of three frame formats and sports a new 17mm ultra-wide-angle lens.
