Laowa Argus FFII 45mm F0.95 (Sony E)

Overview

An optically advanced normal-length prime, the Laowa Argus 45mm f/0.95 FF Lens from Venus Optics lets you create crystal-clear images in both brightly-lit scenes and difficult lighting situations. Offered here with a Nikon Z-mount, this lens features an extremely bright f/0.95 maximum aperture for low-light environments and rendering dreamy bokeh with full-frame cameras. A perfect focal length for amateurs and professionals alike, the lens provides a 51° angle of view that is well-suited for portraits, street scenes, cityscapes, and reportage. The lens is video friendly as well and features a click switch mechanism so videographers can de-click the aperture ring to prevent the click sound when recording. This also allows for a smooth change in brightness when adjusting the aperture settings.

• 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.
