Venus Optics says the lineup will kick off with three primes: a 27mm T2.8, a 35mm T2.4 and a 50mm T2.4, all of which offer 1.5x squeeze in incredible compact form factors.

The only notable physical difference between this new ‘R’ version of the lens is an upgraded aperture diaphragm, which sees the blade count increase to 14, compared to five on the previous iteration.

The lens offers a 50mm full-frame equivalent field of view and an ultrafast F0.95 aperture in a compact, all-metal form factor.

The ultrawide Super35 prime is fully manual and is available to purchase for $699 for Canon RF, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z and Sony E mount camera systems.

This manual-focus 45mm F0.95 lens is the third in Venus Optics' growing Laowa Argus lineup that also includes a 35mm F0.95 and 33mm F0.95 CF APO lens.
