Laowa Venus Optics Argus Lens 45 mm f/0,95 APO FF for Sony E

Description

The Venus Optics Argus 45mm f/0.95 APO FF for Sony E is a lens that is refined in every way. Thanks to Internal Focusing technology, all lens movements take place inside the housing. Changing the focus does not affect the length of the barrel, which facilitates comfortable operation and guarantees optimum stability. You can also rest assured that dust and dirt will not get inside, as happens with designs that offer “external focusing”. The Venus Optics Argus 45mm is also an ideal solution for those who often reach for filters, sunshades or other lens mounted accessories. The 72mm diameter thread will allow you to conveniently use helpful tools.
