This is called a bright lens!

The Venus Optics Argus 33mm f/0.95 APO CF super-bright lens allows you to work comfortably with your camera even when the light is scarce and the sun has long since set. You can use it to take beautiful night portraits or record high quality video footage in low-key lighting. With a shallow depth of field at wide apertures, you can make the main subject of the photo stand out in a professional manner, cutting it off from the blurred background and focusing the viewer’s attention on it. When the aperture of the Venus Optics Argus 33mm f/0.95 APO CF is closed, the field of focus expands, but blurs still retain their unique, picturesque appearance. The lens will also be successful for astrography enthusiasts who can capture star constellations, nebulae or the moon in their night sky images.

Ideal also for filmmakers

At a time when cameras are also successfully used to make professional films or record vlogs, the versatility of lenses is more important than ever. The designers at Venus Optics have made sure that video creators can get the most out of the Argus 33mm f/0.95 APO CF. The lens offers a large range of total rotation of the focus ring (Long Focus Throw), which allows for precise focusing. We are also dealing with very little “breathing” here. This means that by changing the focus point while recording a shot, the level of instability in the angle of view will be reduced to a minimum. Filmmakers will also appreciate the stepless aperture adjustment, which can be discreetly changed while recording a shot. Thanks to the aforementioned solutions, working with a camera that replaces a camcorder will become even more convenient, and the recorded materials will gain in professional quality.

Smooth bokeh effect

With a 9-blade aperture and an apochromatic lens system that minimizes the occurrence of chromatic aberration, the Venus Optics Argus 33mm f/0.95 APO CF lens produces a smooth and rounded bokeh effect without sharp edges. This is ideal for portraits and experiments with light at shallow depth of field. Simply open the aperture to a minimum of f/0.95, and the curvy, soft bokeh will give your images a more expressive and unique character. With the Venus Optics Argus 33mm f/0.95 APO CF lens, you’ll see how amazing the effects can be for night shots taken near neon signs and urban light sources!

Internal Focusing

Thanks to Internal Focusing technology, all lens movement in the Venus Optics Argus 33 mm f/0.95 APO CF for Canon RF takes place inside the lens housing. Changing the focus therefore does not affect the length of the lens, giving you better stability and greater comfort. The ergonomic design of the lens, which is equipped with a suitable mounting thread, also allows you to conveniently install additional accessories such as polarizing filters or sunshades. Internal Focusing also allows the lens to be focused from shorter distances than designs offering “external focusing”. In this case, it is just 35 centimeters.
