A Canon RF 7-14mm f/2.8-3.5 Fisheye Zoom is Coming Soon

The R50V is, indeed, very small. I adore mine.

Sigma sold an 8-16mm rectilinear ef-s lens that isn't very big.

Whatever you get, you probably want ef-s or 3rd party instead of Canon RF glass. It's *way* more optimal to get an aps-c lens if you're going ultrawide, especially if weight matters, as that extra image circle takes a ton of extra glass.

Well I don't think there's much of a 3rd party selection of lenses for underwater, but looking around now, I'd be really happy to try R50V+Sigma 10-18/2.8.
Problem is, neither Nauticam nor Ikelite have case for R50V.

It's been 10y+ and I'm still waiting for a great compact underwater setup.
I'll just keep on dreaming about an RF-S fisheye zoom or an R8V+the rumored RF fisheye zoom....and case...almost none of the components of my dream exist today
(and then we didn't even go macro where the reality is worse)

Honestly, you should look outside of Canon, heh.

A Lumix S9, for instance, has underwater kits. It's light, cheap, full frame, with tons of bright 3rd party ultrawides. Sony's Z series may have some kits too, and actually supports stuff like gyroflow stabilization in post.


The only reason I got an R50V instead is for Canon's better budget telephotos and some legacy lenses. And even then, the cripple hammer is making me look around quite a bit...
