First leaked picture of the upcoming Venus Optics Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 lens

By [NR] admin | Published: December 14, 2020

Back in January, I reported that Venus Optics will be coming with a new line of fast f/0.95 lenses that will be called Argus. The new f/0.95 Argus lenses will be designed for DSLR and mirrorless full-frame cameras. Above is the first leaked picture of the Venus Optics Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 lens.

After the Nikkor Z Noct 58mm f/0.95 S lens announcement, there has been a surge of new f/0.95 lenses made by various Chinese companies:

TTartisan 50mm f/0.95 (you will need an adapter)
7Artisans 50mm f/1.05 (native Z-mount)
7artisans 35mm f/0.95 (APS-C lens for Z-mount)
Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 III (Z-mount)
Rumiere Noct-Master APO 75mm f/0.95 (Z-mount)

TTartisan and 7artisans lenses are available for sale at the Photo Rumors Online Store with free worldwide shipping.
