Yasuhara Nanoha

The Yasuhara Nanoha Macro Lens 5:1 for the Canon EOS M system (price & specs) is available and ready to ship at B&H for $499.99 (click here).

Press release (or see here for a review):

Yasuhara introducing the new NANOHA x5 for Canon EOS M.

Canon is the last manufacturer entering the market with the EOS M. It’s based around a new ‘EF-M’ lens mount, and two matched lenses are available to begin with: the EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM zoom, and the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM ‘pancake’ prime.

Yasuhara Nanoha

Yasuhara Co. Ltd.  reflecting the market and evolution of the new type of digital cameras has introduced  two special lenses in 2012.  Its NANOHA x5 macro lens and the MADOKA 180 circle fisheye lens is designed for micro 4/3 and Sony E mount systems. But…

NANOHA x5 is available also for Canon EOS M

After Canon’s introduction of the new EOS M camera, Yasuhara is coming to the market with the NANOHA x5 macro lens with the Canon M mount. The new NANOHA(C) lens is introduced today and ready for use also for Canon EOS M owners.

What is the difference between NANOHA x5 for Sony E, micro 4/3 and for Canon EOS M mount

Basically, the only difference is the mount system. NANOHA(E), NANOHA(M) and NANOHA(C) have the same optical system. Considering the size of the image sensor, the resulting picture of the NANOHA(C) is just like the one of the NANOHA(E). The outer dimensions of the NANOHA(C) are just like NANOHA(E)’s, but the weight of it is just like NANOHA(M)’s. For more information see the specifications below.

A Bit Of Everything

Nauticam Underwater Housing for Canon EOS M

Canon EOS M

Nauticam announced a new underwater housing for Canon’s EOS M (price & specs).Depth Rating: 100m, Dimensions: 168mm x 97mm 126mm. Estimated Shipping Date: 20 March, 2013. Canon EOS M price check: Amazon DE, Amazon UK, Amazon IT, Canon IT, WEX Photographic, Canon FR, Canon UK, Canon DE

The press release:

Nauticam NA-EOSM

Nauticam takes great pleasure in announcing an exceptional new housing for a brand new competitor in the mirrorless interchangeable lens camera market: The NA-EOSM for the Canon EOS M. Once again Nauticam is the first to embrace the latest technology available from a leading camera manufacturer and deliver an aluminum underwater housing of superior quality at an unprecedented speed. The NA-EOSM offers Canon shooters the precision and excellence that underwater photographers have come to expect from the world’s leading aluminum underwater housing manufacturer: Nauticam.

Canon EOS M

Canon may be the most recent manufacturer to enter the mirrorless interchangeable lens camera field, but they certainly bring decades of camera development experience to the game. The stylish EOS M exudes quality and refinement from its magnesium alloy camera body to the solid and comfortable weight of the new EF-M series lenses. The superb image quality will be no surprise to shooters of Canon’s APS-C series of DSLRs. The EOS M borrows features, including the 18 MP sensor, from the recently released Canon T4i, in a much more compact mirrorless body. Along with this new Canon system, two new lenses have debuted: TheCanon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and the Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM. Both of these lenses employ Canon’s “stepper motor” that provides near silent auto focus when shooting video. In addition, Canon will be providing an optional Mount Adapter EF-EOS M that will allow the use of existing EF and EFS lenses on the new camera.

The Canon EOS M is designed to be user friendly for photographers of all levels of capability, but that doesn’t mean Canon held back on the specs. The in addition to the impressive 18 MP Hybrid CMOS sensor, the new Canon sports the latest 14 bit DIGIC5 processor, 4.3 fps, ISO expandable from 100 – 25,600 and a 1040k dot touch sensitive Clear View II LCD screen. An external Speedlite 90EX hot shoe mounted flash utilizes its own AAA power supply to prevent exhausting the camera battery prematurely. The LCD user interface borrows heavily from the Canon T4i/650D and that means it is one of the most useful available on any camera. Other controls are simply arranged and easy to operate.

Video features are expected from Canon and the EOS M does not disappoint with 1080p 30p in the MOV format and a dedicated record button. The new Hybrid CMOS sensor employs integrated phase detection AF pixels to provide some of the best live AF video capability of any interchangeable lens camera. This should open new doors for underwater videographers.
