Impressively bright f/0.95 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.

Normal-length prime lens provides a 51° angle of view for a natural-looking perspective close to the human eye.

The optical design incorporates an aspherical element, an extra-low dispersion element, and three ultra-high refraction elements, which help to suppress spherical and chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness, color accuracy, and clarity.

Video-friendly design features a click switch mechanism to de-click the aperture ring. This prevents the click sound from being recorded and provides a smooth change in brightness when changing the aperture setting.

Robust metal construction with deep grooves on the aperture ring and focus ring to enable better handling.

Internal focusing minimizes focus breathing when changing the focus from one object to another. This design also helps prevent dust from getting into the lens.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. the shiny bit at the end of the lens, which goes into the camera - can this be removed (I see there are some screws)?

A: The silver bit at the end of the Venus Optics Laowa Argus 45mm f/0.95 FF Lens for Sony E is how you mount the lens to the camera.

Q: 2. Since this lens has no electronics, does focus peaking on the Z7 work with this lens?

A: Yes Nikon Z7 will show peaking when used with Venus Optics Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 FF Lens for Nikon Z.

Q: 3. Is this lens compatible with Leica CL (APS-C format)?

A: Yes it is compatible!

Q: 4. f0.95 APS-C is roughly f1.5 at Full-Frame? (angle of view changes obviously).

A: The Venus Optics Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO Lens for Canon RF is designed for the APS-C sensor. It would not cover a full-frame sensor. When used on a Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital camera, you would have to use the camera's [Cropping/aspect ratio] setting under the Camera Setting menu in the camera. The aperture indicated is the correct aperture for the APS-C sensor size, though the perceived depth-of-field would be the equivalent of a f/1.5 lens. While the focal length is correct, if you are trying to find the full-frame equivalent focal length, it would be equivalent to a 52.8mm lens covering a full-frame 36x24mm size sensor.

Q: 5. Does it cover the c70 sensor?

A: This lens does cover the C70 sensor. This is an APS-C lens.

Q: 6. Is it weather sealed?

A: Unfortunately Venus Optics Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO Lens for FUJIFILM X is not weather sealed.

Q: 7. APS-C or FF? (Does" CF" mean "Cropped Frame, like with Tokina?)

A: Venus Optics Argus 25mm F/0.95 CF APO Lens for Canon RF BH #VE2595RF • MFR #VE2595RF is a APS-C lens and CF means close focus as the lens has a minimum focus distance of 34 cm.

Q: 8. When used on the R5 or R6 does this lens force the camera into 1.6 crop mode with the resulting decrease in megapixels?

A: No, the 7artisans Photoelectric 50mm f/0.95 Lens for Canon RF is a completely manual lens that does not communicate with the camera. As such the camera does not know whether it is a crop lens or not. It is designed for a smaller sensor so you would have very significant vignetting wehn used on full-frame if you do not manually set the camera to crop.

Q: 9. Is it possible to make it work on MFT with some adapter? I just wanted to buy 25mm 0.95, but FF is a better investment.

A: No, there are no adapters to connect Venus Optics Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 FF Lens for Sony E-Mount to a micro 4/3 camera mount.

Q: 10. Is the Nikon Z7 compatible with this manual focus lens? Besides no image stabilization, are other capabilities lost?

A: As the Venus Optics Laowa Argus FF 28mm T1 Cine Lens (Nikon Z) is a fully manual lens, aperture and focus would need to be controlled manually as well. You may also lose any focus confirmation features built into the camera itself.

[72 mm (Front)] Just got this lense when the RF-S18-45mm Mirrorless Camera came with it.
Its definitely more hefty and your basic selfi stick mount maybe overweight.
if mounted on a small stick and leaned forward a bit it will fall.
The Lense is bigger too so should bring more clarity to media.
definitely better then the basic lenses but also doesn't have as much zoom.
This is ideal for closeups or objects 5-10 feet away.
Alternatively maybe good for landscape style photos.
I got it for documenting my work and analysis.

[0.12x] This lens has stayed on my z50 since I got it about a month ago and think it will continue to stay there. I love the razor thin focus, the bokeh, the lens flare. I like the price and that it’s equivalent to a 50mm on a full frame camera. Since it’s manual, It’s not for everyone and every situation, but it’s really nice for more mindful photography.

[45mm] This is my first Laowa lens, but it won't be my last. I get that this is a photo lens. And that real cinema lenses have gears for motors etc, but the focus throw on this lens is so long that it makes focusing handheld (and with its shallow depth of field) a breeze. 

You can break down your rig as light as possible, as I've done in the photo I've attached and use focus peaking or the manual scales on the lens to focus.

It's built incredibly well. It's all metal, but lightweight and portable, so you're inspired to take it anywhere you just want to document life as it happens around you. The focal length is a little tight on crop sensor, but I find it's the sweet spot to give just enough compression between your subject and background. There's just something about 33/35 mm lens on s35 sensors that look really good.

On the Red Komodo- X, this is about 43mm in 6k 17:9 mode. It;s also APO, which helps reduce chromatic aberration (the purple-ish/greenish fringing around edges in bright conditions). Yes there's still some, but nowhere near as much as you'd expect for an aperture around f/0.95 aperture.

The images look really good, too. For some reason, I feel like there's some barrel distortion... which I love, or maybe just some kind of 3d pop for images framed in the center. I can't explain it, but there's a lovely character to this lens.

I have an R6 Mark II, which is full frame, and this won't work without heavy vignetting on the corners since the image circle doesn't cover full frame cameras. Again, this lens is made only for crop factor (The CF on the side of the lens) cameras (aps-c and super 35,) On full frame or anything else, you'll need to use a digital tele converter or crop-in in post (which ultimately reduces resolution.)

Anyway, hope this helps someone!

[45mm] I have a selection of native Fuji lenses but I wanted to explore large aperture lenses. First I bought the Laowa 65 mm macro which had superlative resolution and 2:1 magnification. What a pearl! So, I thought let's get the 25 mm lens that was more appealing for me than the 33 mm version for several reasons. I have been extremely satisfied with the lens. It has quite good resolution and contrast at wide open and it just improves to excellent closing down a bit to 2-2.8. I like the color reproduction of the lens also. The FF equivalent of 37 mm fits my needs quite well since it is a bit wider than regular lenses. Chromatic aberration does exist but it is nothing that serious. Flare problems on the other hand can be quite annoying but it is handable. I just avoid direct sunshine what usually I do because all lenses to a certain degree suffer from flare problems. During night photos be careful about light sources on the periphery of the frame or on the horizon. There is quite heavy chroma. Some reviews have made a big issue of it but it had not bothered me too much. The only interesting thing about this lens is its focusing since it can acquire focus at 2 distinct locations. I have never seen this before. Their manual actually claims that multiple floating focusing can occur. Maybe I have a defective floating focusing system...writing to Laowa don't expect an answer...All the above included I love the lens: it has great resolution, sharp images and the lens itself is just beautiful! Not the mention it is the best f/0.95 lens!

[72 mm (Front)] Love this lens, was exactly what I was hoping for. Super well built, all metal, VERY heavy for its size. Honestly only complaint is that its a little too heavy on my xe4. Lens is fully manual, focus and aperture, and does not add lens information (including aperture) to meta date. Lens is soft wide open but stopped down a bit gets sharper than I had expected. They need to make a wide angle lens next, would buy it right away.

[Canon RF] SO GOOD

[Manual Focus] Not for everyone, as they say, but surprisingly good for the price for what it is. If you want it for super thin depth of field and creamy smooth bokeh you may be happy. Stopped down, sharpness is good, especially in the center. Works very well for urban scenes at night as well and keeps the ISO down. At the current price of $650 I'm very pleased, but at list of $999 maybe less so. If you want an all around 35mm there are better choices, mostly slower by a stop or more, but then with AF or at greater expense. Beautifully built as well.
