About Venus 28mm f/1.2

From the bustling streets to serene landscapes, the Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 Lens for Sony E is a versatile tool for every photographer's kit. This lens offers a contemporary spin on the classic 28mm focal length, delivering remarkable sharpness and superior optical performance, even at its maximum aperture.

This lens shines in a variety of lighting conditions, making it an ideal choice for both daytime and low-light photography. Its slightly wider angle of view (AoV) compared to the popular 35mm and 50mm lenses, makes it a valuable asset for street photography, landscape shots, and environmental portraits.

The Laowa Argus 28mm lens comes with a 62mm filter thread, accommodating any screw-in filters. This feature allows photographers to create images with a shallow depth of field (DoF), even in bright sunlight. Weighing in at just 562g and measuring 68.5 x 106mm, this lens is a lightweight and compact travel companion for those who love to capture every precious moment on the go.

The 28mm focal length of this lens offers an AoV of 75.4 degrees, capturing more environmental details to enrich your storytelling. Combined with the f/1.2 aperture, photographers gain greater control over background inclusion and subject isolation, providing more flexibility in framing the scene.

The ultra-fast f/1.2 aperture of the Laowa Argus 28mm lens facilitates easy subject separation and the creation of a shallow DoF. This large aperture also contributes to the production of beautiful bokeh, adding an artistic touch to your images.

The 13-blade aperture of this lens renders creamy and dreamy bokeh at larger apertures, infusing your images with an artistic character. The lens incorporates two ultra-high refractive (UHR) elements and two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, enhancing sharpness and contrast for stunning detail across the entire frame, even at f/1.2.

The 62mm filter thread on this lens allows for the easy use of ND, CPL, or other screw-in filters, eliminating the need for a heavy filter holder. This feature also enables photographers to shoot wide-open in broad daylight simply by attaching an ND filter.

The Laowa Argus 28mm lens is not only a fantastic tool for photography but also caters to the needs of videographers. Its internal focusing design prevents lens collision and dust accumulation, while also accommodating accessories designed for specific positions, such as polarizers.

The lens also features an Aperture Ring Click Switch Mechanism, allowing you to choose between a clicked or silent aperture ring. This function caters to both your photography and video needs, making the Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 Lens for Sony E a versatile addition to your gear.
