The Venus Optics Argus 18 mm f/0.95 APO lens for Micro 4/3 is distinguished by its unparalleled brightness. The ability to open the aperture to f/0.95 is ideal for shooting photos and videos after dark or in locations where sufficient light is difficult to come by. With this lens, you will rediscover the magic of night photographic walks!
18mm on the Micro 4/3 system is the equivalent of 35mm on full-frame lenses. Such a versatile focal length is a must-have among photographers and video makers. The field of view here is 61.9. The Venus Optics Argus 18 mm f/0.95 APO lens for Micro 4/3 will be a great choice for those who specialize in portrait, street, or landscape photography.
The Venus Optics Argus 18mm f/0.95 APO to Micro 4/3 lens will not only work well for photographers. It's an excellent choice for filmmakers working with cameras and camcorders equipped with the Micro 4/3 mount, and the lens offers very little breathing. It ensures that the level of instability in the angle of view is reduced to a minimum when changing the focus point during the recording of a shot. The unit also allows you to switch between stepped and stepless aperture adjustment.
The apochromatic construction of the Venus Optics Argus 18 mm f/0.95 APO lens for Micro 4/3 is designed to achieve the best possible image quality. The 13 optical elements here are arranged in 9 groups. The innovative design includes 2 ED glass elements and 4 high-refraction lenses. The professional optics guarantee detailed frames with sharpness and perfect microcontrast. The high quality of the materials also ensures that chromatic aberration is reduced to an absolute minimum both in focus and out-of-focus areas.
The minimum aperture of f/0.95 will allow you to achieve a shallow depth of field. This will impressively separate the subject of the photo from the background. The smooth and rounded bokeh without sharp edges that you achieve with the 9-blade aperture will become the highlight of your photographs.
The Internal Focusing technology used in the Venus Optics Argus 18 mm f/0.95 APO lens for Micro 4/3 means that all lens movements take place inside the housing. Changing the focus therefore does not affect the length of the unit. This ensures optimum stability and even greater working comfort. This solution is sure to be appreciated by those using filters, sun hoods, or other accessories that are screwed onto the lens. Internal Focusing also provides better protection for the glass against dust. Dirt is more difficult to get at, compared to designs offering external focusing.
