Venus Optics Argus S35 18mm T1.0 Overview
Designed for S35 camera sensors, the Laowa Argus S35 18mm T1 Cine Lens from Venus Optics features a Nikon Z lens mount and a wide T1 to T11 aperture range for improved low-light shooting. Create a shallow depth of field and dreamy bokeh with the 15-blade iris and lens construction of 15 elements in 10 groups. The focus ring rotates 250° and the iris ring 87° for intuitive manual adjustments with low focus breathing.
The lens features a 76.2° angle of view to ensure your subject remains in the frame. An 80mm outer diameter and M77 filter thread are consistent across the lens series and allow you to incorporate different matte boxes or filters. Cine-standard gearing on the lens, adjustment shims, and a removable lens support thread make up the cine housing of the lens.
