The underwater housing

The NA-R50 underwater housing is no exception from the long line of Canon housings, integrating everything into a small and lightweight package. The integrated port is a part of the housing and requires no additional maintenance, much like Nauticam’s compact camera systems. The system is engineered around the Canon RF-S 18-45 F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens, since this is by far the most versatile and practical RF lens to use on the Canon RF APS-C format underwater. This lens provides excellent results in the wide to narrow fish portrait FOV range but is easily married to Nauticam’s WWL-1 or WWL-C lens for exceptionally sharp wide angle coverage with full zoom through while still keeping a modest form factor. Nauticam’s Compact Macro Converter water contact optics can be added for a full “do anything and go anywhere” system. The NA-R50 underwater housing dimensions are small enough to hand hold without a tray for ultimate freedom if it is required. Measuring just 238mm wide, 150mm in height and 115mm in depth.

Wet lenses for every situation

Both macro and super wide angle interchangeable optics can be available to the underwater photographer on the same dive.
The WWL-1B is a wide angle conversion lens that is an excellent match with the Canon RF-S 18-45 mm lens. The WWL-1B provides a crisp 130 degree diagonal field of view with the lens at 18mm and allows for full zoom through to about 60 degrees at 45mm. For an even smaller wide angle option without any loss of quality, Nauticam's WWL-C provides a compact all glass optic every bit as sharp as the WWL-1B, but with a zoom range offering 116 degrees at 18mm.
The macro photographer have options as well. Nauticam strongly recommends the lightweight CMC-1 & CMC-2 lenses for ultimate image quality and better auto-focus performance. Maximum magnification is achieved at a focal length of 45mm. The CMC-1 offers more magnification but is a bit challenging. CMC-2 still offers a hefty 0.6X magnification but is a bit more forgiving.

Strobes and vacuum

With the NA-R50 underwater housing, strobe triggering is accomplished by utilizing the Canon EOS R50’s pop-up flash making adding strobes that employ fiber optic connections a seamless integration. Strobes that provide STTL capability with fiber optics will provide the option of full TTL compatibility with the R50.
The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection electronics are shipped with the NA-R50 as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory M16 vacuum valve #25625 this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing.
