Venu Optic Laowa Argu 35mm f/0.95 Reviews

A good lens serving its purpose overall

By Simon
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-09-22

I have read quite a few reviews about this lens prior to purchase. Overall, this lens delivers what it is advertised to do and serves its purpose. This is my first Laowa lens, to my disappointment and contrary to online rave about Laowa's solid mechanical build, I do feel noticeable play between the lens and mount when it's coupled to my A7R IV. While the lens cap is put on with live view turned on, I can see obvious light leak on left side of the screen, I can't determine what's causing it upon very close examination though. I also wish the lens could provide a more distinct tactile feedback with aperture clicks. The lens was packaged with the hood on it, it was so tight and I wondered whether I might risk damaging the thread or even the front protection before I can remove it to install a filter. All being said, these doesn't affect its practical use, despite all these minor annoyances, it delivers what I hope for in end results.

Incredible .95 for the Canon r5

The r5 makes manual focus so incredibly easy, I can confidently capture bride groom portraits with ease and know they're in focus. The bokeh has a vintage reminiscence to it which I absolutely love

Asked by: Elina
The focus is smooth but it does have Selectable Clicked / De-Clicked Aperture. Photographers might prefer the clicked aperture ring while de-clicked would be better for video.
