The super fast 0.95 aperture Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO lens in Sony E Mount is a magnificent f/0.95 equivalent standard focal length lens for cropped frame (APS-C) Sony mirrorless cameras. This prime lens offers around the 50mm standard focal length on 1.5x cropped sensor cameras, and super-fast f0.95 aperture for shallow depth of field photography with great bokeh. The APO design offers great optical quality, clear image details, extraordinary sharpness and exquisite bokeh with well-controlled chromatic aberration. The ultra-fast aperture lens with APO is perfect for low-light photography, shallow depth of field, portrait, narrative videography and other applications.
The name of the new lenses are Inspired by Greek mythology, Argus was a primordial giant and a loyal servant with an "all-seeing” sight.
The Laowa Argus 33mm features f/0.95 ultra fast aperture, particularly useful for creating stunning portraits, or use in low light photography such as astrophotography. With the maximum aperture of f/0.95, it adds a 'wow factor' to images by the extremely thin shallow depth of field and capable of incredible optical performance. The 9 aperture blade helps to produce smooth exquisite bokeh, with round orbs of glowing light with no hard edges.
APO (Apochromatic Optical Design) of the Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO incorporates one Extra-low Dispersion Glass, one Aspherical Lens and three Ultra High Refraction Glass to minimize the chromatic aberration across the frame, to deliver clean images at both ‘in-focus’ and ‘out-of-focus’ areas.
The 35cm close focusing distance allows capture of different close up perspectives. The long focus throw allows photographers and videographers achieve accurate focus. Additionally the Argus 33mm features Low focus breathing, an important consideration for film makers and videographers. Low Focus breathing minimises the distraction of the changes in angle of view when moving focus from one object to another, making the Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO a perfect lens for narrative filming. A step-less aperture ring allows smooth adjustment of the exposure.
Internal Focusing design offers a better balancing, and helps prevent dust or debris falling into the lens, as well as having a non rotating filter ring which is useful when using polarisers for example.
