Ultra-Fast Standard Prime. The Venus Optics Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO’s combination of standard focal length and ultra-fast aperture makes it excellent for low-light photography, astrophotography, narrative videography, and portraiture with shallow depth of field.
High-Quality Optics. This lens’s apochromatic nine-group/fourteen-element optical design includes one aspherical element, one extra-low dispersion element, and three ultra-high refraction elements that combine to help eliminate chromatic aberrations and color fringing while keeping images sharp.
Fully Manual Lens. The 33mm f/0.95 is a fully manual lens. Its internal-focusing design means that it maintains its overall length during use, and its long focus throw and minimal breathing are ideal for video applications. Its nine-blade aperture produces pleasing bokeh, and the stepless aperture ring ensures smooth exposure transitions. The lens barrel includes focus-distance and depth-of-field scales for precision control.
