The NOKTON 50mm F1 Aspherical is our first Canon RF mount lens with electronic contacts and is an ultra-fast aperture manual focus standard lens. Covering a full-frame image circle, the lens is optimized for the image sensor of the Canon EOS R system.
The lens captures the image made by the optics without any electronic interference. The lens is equipped with electronic contacts and realizes communications between the lens and the body. In addition to Exif information and in-body image stabilization (3-axis) , three types of focus support functions (magnification, peaking, and focus guide) are all supported.
By manufacturing an aspherical lens from a glass material with a high refractive index, we have created an ultra-fast lens that is portable despite its ultra-fast F1 aperture. In addition, by adopting a floating lens, a stable image quality can be obtained from the shortest shooting distance of 0.45m to infinity.
The aperture is controlled by a mechanical ring on the lens. The aperture ring has a click-switching mechanism that allows the aperture to be used without clicks when shooting video. The aperture has 12 diaphragm blades, which allow the photographer to capture smooth out-of-focus areas and point light sources in a well-defined form. A metal lens hood is included.
