Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO Lens for Sony E

The Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO is an ultra-fast manual-focus prime lens designed for Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. Its exceptionally wide f/0.95 aperture makes it particularly suited to low-light photography and portraits with strong background separation.

Key features

• 33mm focal length – roughly a 50mm-equivalent field of view on APS-C, making it a versatile everyday/portrait lens.
• f/0.95 maximum aperture – excellent for shooting in low light and creating very shallow depth of field.
• APO optical design – helps control chromatic aberration and colour fringing.
• Manual focus – precise focusing control, especially useful for portraits, video and creative photography.
• Large aperture – produces attractive background blur and allows the subject to stand out strongly.
• APS-C coverage – designed for crop-sensor cameras rather than full-frame use.
• Metal construction – gives the lens a substantial, premium feel.
• Video-friendly design – the manual-focus operation and large aperture make it useful for cinematic-style video work.
