One Hour. One Expert. The Right Gear.
Photography in Good Company
Your natural-view prime—bright, honest, and beautifully sharp.
If you want a lens that simply makes everything look like real life (only better), this S-Line 50mm is it. Wide open at f/1.8 it gives you clean, confident low-light shots and creamy, natural bokeh. Stop it down and you’ll get crisp detail from center to corners. It’s quick, quiet, and rock-solid—an everyday prime you’ll trust for portraits, street, product, and video alike.
What you’ll notice in use
-
Low-light ease & gentle blur: Fast f/1.8 aperture with a rounded 9-blade diaphragm for smooth, natural background separation.
-
S-Line clarity: Advanced optics with specialized elements and Nano Crystal Coat for high contrast and minimal flare/ghosting.
-
Quiet, confident AF: A stepping-motor, multi-focusing design locks on quickly and silently—great for candid stills and clean audio in video.
-
Video-friendly behavior: Focus breathing is well-controlled to keep your framing steady when you rack focus.
-
Closer than you think: Focus down to 0.40 m (1.32 ft) for intimate details and environmental portraits.
-
Ready for the real world: A dust- and drip-resistant build, plus a customizable control ring for aperture, ISO, exposure comp, or manual focus.
-
Travel-light size: 415 g with a compact 76 × 86.5 mm build and a practical 62 mm filter thread.
