Venus Optics Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 Overview
The Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 FF Lens for Canon R from Venus Optics is a fast wide-angle lens with a bright f/0.95 maximum aperture for full-frame camears. The optical performance is maximized by incorporating one ED glass element, one aspherical lens element, and four high-refractive-index glass elements. The shallow depth of field and dreamy bokeh created by the combination of the f/0.95 aperture and 15-blade diaphragm creates exceptional portraits. It has high performance in low light conditions for obtaining sharp images, making it a must-have tool for every photographer and videographer.
Select either a clicked or de-clicked aperture ring for video shooting without noticeable change when changing the aperture. Precise manual focusing is easily obtained with the 300° barrel rotation, producing extremely low focus breathing, eliminating the distraction of changes in the angle of view when moving focus from one object to another when creating narrative filming.
- Ultra-fast f/0.95 maximum aperture
- One extra-low dispersion element, one aspherical element, and four ultra-high refraction elements
- Selectable clicked or de-clicked aperture ring
- Manual focus lens with low focus breathing
- 15 aperture blades for excellent bokeh

Venus Optics Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 Reviews
LOVE IT
SO GOOD
A lot of cons over pros
My first impression of this lens is the great build quality. It is all made of metal and feels very premium, which also makes it a little heavy. For the imaging, it is a f0.95 lens and of course delivers awesome bokeh, as most reviews said you would have found on YouTube. HOWEVER, image quality at f0.95 is very soft and it feels like you are shooting with a bad filter (very vague image and terrible purple fringing). This problem would be partially alleviated with f1.4 and completely resolved with f2.8, but who wants a manual and heavy 35mm f2.8 lens that costs almost a thousand dollars? Besides, the focus ring has a lot of travel distance and it is a little bit tiring to do manual focus. In conclusion, this lens is designed only for certain people. If you are really into the bokeh thing and would like to sacrifice A LOT other components, this is probably a buy. Otherwise you will most likely regret having it.
Mixed Results
There is no doubt that this feels like a solid, and well made lens. It also offers reasonably sharp results, even wide open at f/0.95. The quality of the bokeh is nice and smooth, promising dreamy results in the right conditions, or with the right subject matter. The focus ring has a long throw but offers almost the perfect resistance right out of the box. Finally, the aperture dial performs well, both clicked, and de-clicked, which is a simple slide activated option. So far, so good, and it really is quite good in the respects I have noted. So why only three stars (and I feel that I was being generous)? This lens, or at least my specific example of it, has an Achilles heel, and it is a very obvious, and significant one at that--light fall-off! As you move away from the centre of the frame, and approach the edges/corners, the image becomes noticeably darker. I would be putting it somewhat mildly to say that the vignetting with this optic is poor. I would probably be better advised to describe it as bordering on atrocious! I've noticed well over two stops of vignetting in the corners, which is in-itself quite serious, but worse, the vignetting on my Canon EOS R version of the lens is also asymmetrical, with the bottom of the frame in landscape mode being dramatically darker than the top. In the extreme corners of the bottom of the image frame, vignetting is around three stops darker than in the centre. If all you take are landscape oriented photos, you can probably work around the light fall-off issue, at least to some degree. The problem with this asymmetry, top to bottom, really becomes apparent when you rotate the camera 90 degrees for a portrait shot. In that orientation, the vignetting can't be ignored--one side of the frame becomes so much darker than the other as to almost look like you have a misaligned lens hood, or somehow managed to get the camera strap in the shot.. It's so dark that fixing it in post, at least for me, isn't a reasonable option. I'll see if I can upload one of my first photos with this lens as an example to illustrate what I'm seeing. The only other complaint I have, and this is a niggling one, is weight. This is not a lightweight lens. It's heavier than my EF 17-40mm f/4 with the EF-EOS R adapter attached; but it is a fast lens, so that is to be expected.
So good
Best
widest fastest - great for shooting northern lights handheld
for shooting northern lights this is great. this is the widest lens for fullframe sensor at F0.95 . I shoot northern lights realtime video with this baby, handheld thanks to IBIS, And even photo of northern lights , handheld - no tripod , at 1/5 sec shutter thanks to IBIS ... for portrait work the 45mm f/0.95 is probably better but for wider sky view this is a great lens .
