Venus Optics Argus 25mm F/0.95 Overview
By Photo’s Matt Cottom
An ultra-fast prime for Canon EF-M-mount cameras, the Laowa Argus 25mm f/0.95 CF APO Lens from Venus Optics provides outstanding sharpness and color fidelity in an easy-to-use, manual focus design. An excellent choice for street scenes, portraiture, and more, this lens is built for working in low-light conditions and for isolating subject matter while using selective focus techniques. The lens’s manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 13″ away, and the lens sports a nine-blade diaphragm that provides a pleasing and unique bokeh quality.
- Designed for APS-C-format Canon EF-M-mount cameras, this lens provides a 40mm full-frame equivalent focal length.
- Ultra-fast f/0.95 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also enables extensive control over focus placement for selective focus techniques.
- Manual focus design permits smooth and refined control with a minimum focusing distance of 13″.
- Aperture ring click switch allows you to choose whether to have a clicked or silent aperture ring.
- Apochromatic lens design minimizes chromatic aberration and is able to deliver impressive image quality even at maximum aperture.
- A 9-blade diaphragm produces a smooth out-of-focus quality when working with shallow depth of field techniques.
