Venus Optics Laowa Argus 45mm f/0.95 Overview
By B&H Photo's
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.
