Canon Cinema EOS Sumire Prime CN-E50mm T1.3 FP X Lens

Canon Sumire Prime CN-E50mm T1.3 FP X Lens

The Sumire Prime CN-E50mm T1.3 FP X lens delivers a compact, consistent design with proven Canon optical elements, ensuring high performance and reliability in professional cinematography environments.

Design and Usability

• Markings on angled surfaces on both sides of the barrel allow easy reading of focus and aperture settings from behind or either side of the camera.
• Focus markings can be switched between standard and metric units.
• Control rings are engineered to maintain consistent resistance and operating torque for precise handling.

Optical Performance

• Designed to meet contemporary 4K production standards with a full-frame imaging circle in a lightweight, compact form.
• Features an 11-blade aperture diaphragm for smooth, beautiful background blur (bokeh).
• Innovative glass construction counters barrel expansion and contraction to prevent temperature-induced marking discrepancies.

Sumire Prime Lens Series

Canon's Sumire Prime lenses offer exceptional optical performance for high-end productions. They share the same gear position, front diameter (114mm), and rotation angle (300°), enabling compatibility with third-party accessories and quick lens changes without rig adjustments. These lenses are ideal for use with the EOS C700 FF and other full-frame and Super 35mm PL-mount cameras from leading manufacturers.

Image Rendering and Color

• Unique optical design provides a nuanced look near maximum aperture, subtly enhancing facial texture rendering and smoothing transitions to fall-off areas for pleasing bokeh.
• Large diameter aspheric lens and anomalous dispersion glass deliver high-resolution imaging from center to edges, supporting 4K cinema quality.
• Produces warm color tones that softly capture facial expressions and textures.

Key Features

• Fast T-number of T1.3 enables brighter shooting in low-light conditions with softer, more pronounced bokeh.
• Unified warm color balance consistent with other Canon Cinema lenses, facilitating seamless color matching across multiple lenses during production.
• Minimized focus breathing reduces angle of view changes during focusing, critical for smooth focus pulling.
• Supports full-frame and Super 35mm sensors, compatible with current full-frame cameras.
• 11-blade iris with odd number of blades reduces flare and creates three-dimensional bokeh with deeper depth of field.
• Iris ring is mechanically controlled with no click stops for smooth exposure adjustments during recording.
• 105mm front lens threading accommodates screw-on filters, allowing flexible filter use without a matte box.
• Distance indicators on both sides of the lens barrel, with phosphorescent paint on the front barrel for improved visibility in low light.

Operability and Reliability

Designed for professional cinematographers, the lens maintains consistent gear positions and operating torque across the Sumire Prime series, ensuring predictable lens operation and easy lens switching. Matte boxes and accessories remain compatible after lens changes.
