The lens also produces exquisite bokeh, thanks to its 9-blade aperture, creating smooth, round orbs of light with no hard edges. This is a sought-after feature for photographers looking to create visually appealing images with a soft, dreamy quality.Whether you're a photographer seeking to capture stunning shallow depth-of-field images, handle low-light situations with ease, or create sparkling astrophotography shots, or a videographer looking for precise focus control and smooth exposure adjustments, the Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO Lens for Sony E is a versatile, high-quality choice.

I have owned plenty of F0.95 and most have been pretty good, but The Venus Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO has to be the sharpest one of them all. The Bokeh is so smooth and character is beautiful. This is a manual lens with aperture and focus control the 33mm gives you plenty of background blur without getting to close to your subject. There is a gorgeous RED ring flair that happens between 0.95,1.2, 1.4 aperture (depending on the suns angle and your angle of shooting) However it goes away as you stop up. Bokeh is always subjected but i think it looks really smooth and also can give you gorgeous vintage look with plenty of Fuji Recipes. 

Pro's: Sharpest F0.95 out of the competition. Absolutely solid built quality and smooth focus control (long) and looks really beautiful with that square lens hood. You can add 1 filter with the lens hood. Built like a tank, and quality, extremely low focus breathing. 

Cons: No weather sealing, depending on your rig and how you take care of your equipment this might not be an issue and certainly for some. 
No lens contacts or USB-C :( 
Focus is really long, however... it can make it much easier to focus on subjects. 

This is one of the most beautiful lens i have ever owned shot with, certainly underrated to the max. If you want full control of your portraits and love taking manual photos than this lens is a must.
