About Venus 28mm f/1.2

If you're a photographer seeking a high-quality, versatile lens for your Nikon Z camera, the Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 Lens is an innovative choice. This lens reimagines the classic 28mm focal length, delivering remarkable sharpness and superior optical performance, even when used at its maximum aperture.

Designed for everyday use, this lens excels in various lighting conditions, from bright daylight to low-light scenarios. Its slightly wider angle of view (AoV) compared to 35mm and 50mm lenses makes it a reliable tool for street photography, landscape shots, and environmental portraits.

The Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 Lens features a 62mm filter thread, accommodating any screw-in filters. This allows photographers to create shallow depth-of-field images, even in bright sunlight. Weighing in at just 562g and measuring 68.5 x 106mm, this lens is a durable and compact travel companion, perfect for capturing every precious moment on the go.

The 28mm focal length offers an AoV of 75.4 degrees, capturing more environmental details to enrich your storytelling. Paired with the f/1.2 aperture, you have greater control over background inclusion and subject isolation, providing more flexibility when framing your shots.

Despite its versatility, this lens is lightweight, making it an ideal travel companion for those who love to document their journeys. The ultra-fast f/1.2 aperture allows for easy subject separation and the creation of a shallow depth of field. This large aperture also facilitates the creation of beautiful bokeh, adding an artistic touch to your images.

The 13-blade aperture of this 28mm lens renders creamy and dreamy bokeh at large apertures, enhancing the artistic character of your images. The lens incorporates two ultra-high refractive (UHR) elements and two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, enhancing sharpness and contrast across the entire frame, even at f/1.2 wide-open.

The lens is equipped with a 62mm filter thread, allowing for the easy use of ND, CPL, or other screw-in filters. This eliminates the need for a heavy filter holder and allows for wide-open shooting even in bright daylight with the use of an ND filter.

This lens is not only optimized for photography but also caters to the needs of videographers. The internal focusing design prevents lens collision and dust ingress, and it accommodates accessories like polarizers. The Aperture Ring Click Switch Mechanism lets you choose between a clicked or silent aperture ring, supporting both your photography and video needs.

In summary, the Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 Lens for Nikon Z is a reliable, durable, and versatile lens that delivers high-quality performance in a compact package.
