Venus Optics debuts Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 FF

Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D LM

Venus Optics debuted the Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 FF. The U.S. price for Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 FF is USD $599 for all mounts (Sony FE / Nikon Z / Canon RF / L mount). The company says the slightly wider AoV (compare to 35mm and 50mm) can be handy when doing street, landscape, and even environmental portraits. A 62mm filter thread is available for any screw-in filters, giving photographers the option to create shallow DoF images even when the sun is up. The lens itself is only about 562g and 68.5 x 106mm in size. Making it an excellent travel companion.
