Smartnon 178mm f2.0 ed mc (equals full frame 50mm f0.7)
Regarding lenses, classic large aperture lenses are either very expensive or in poor condition. Therefore, we decided to develop our own lenses using computer simulations and incorporating ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass,high refractive index glass, and modern multi-layer coatings.
Create the lens perfect for smartflex
SmartFlex
cameraThe lens is an essential component of a camera. We understand the importance of creating a perfect product, focusing not only on the camera body but also on the lens. The lenses we have developed are exceptional, balancing sharpness in the focused areas with very natural transitions in the out-of-focus areas.
The color contrast is excellent, making them suitable for both color and black-and-white photography. This development has also led to a significant milestone in our camera design: the lens perfectly matches our Smartflex camera, which can be considered the greatest unexpected benefit of this camera.
Modern large-aperture large format lenses
The lens design draws inspiration from classical structures and utilizes computer simulation for optimization. The first lens element is an ED lens (Extra-low Dispersion glass), comparable to the red-ring series from Rodenstock and the gold-ring series from Nikon. It features MC multi-coating to effectively reduce flare and ghosting.
It boasts an F2 aperture, which is unheard of in large format photography. The bokeh effect is equivalent to a 50mm F0.55 lens on a full-frame camera, providing you with stunning and impressive imagery.
Classical lenses with similar effects are typically made of pure iron or copper and glass elements, making them quite heavy. However, our Smartnon 178mm lens weighs only 700g, ensuring it doesn’t affect the overall shooting experience or add extra burden.
