ULTRAWIDE CANON RF 10-20 | SURF & WATER PHOTOGRAPHY

AQUATECH 5% OFF CODE: CONNOR5

I’ve been searching for the perfect ultra-wide lens for surf and water photography — something that could give me the dramatic perspective of a fisheye without all the heavy distortion on the edges. That’s why I picked up the Canon RF 10-20mm F4 L IS STM, even though Canon designed it mainly for architecture and landscapes. Naturally, the first place I had to test it was in the ocean. 🌊📷

In this video I put the RF 10-20mm through a full water test:

Split shots / 50/50s: How does it handle half-above, half-below-the-surface compositions with an 8-inch Aquatech dome?

Underwater: Wave shots, duck dives, and empty ocean scenes — plus my thoughts on which dome ports work best.

Empty waves: Can it capture line, curve, and depth without the usual fisheye bend?

Surf photography: From wide lineup perspectives to close surf action, I compare it to my old Canon EF 11-24mm and explain where rectilinear really shines.

If you’re a surf photographer, filmmaker, or Canon shooter wondering whether the 10-20mm could replace your fisheye, this video breaks down everything you need to know.

Something not covered in the video since it's photography based is that there's a horrible worble on the edges for video. I definitely do NOT recommend this lens for video unless it's on a tripiod. I can't stress that enough that the Canon RF 10-20 f4 is a photography lens and NOT meant for video. Even hand held on land, there's crazy distortion and can't in good conscious recommend it for video.
