Product Overview

Laowa Argus 45mm F0.95 FF is a large-aperture manual-focus normal prime lens for Canon RF-mount, Nikon Z-mount, and Sony E-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Laowa in 2021, it has 13 elements in 9 groups.
Manual focus may be limiting to some, but purists will find it much more engaging. There are also fewer things to go wrong on the long run.
A normal prime lens, the Laowa Argus 45mm F0.95 FF has the potential to be one of the most used and ultimately versatile option in a photographer's bag. Usually the easiest to design and to QC, it is a great option for landscape and street photography. Its bright maximum aperture also helps night and portrait works.
However, by prioritizing large f/0.95 aperture, Laowa does sacrifice the pure image quality of this lens.
