Designed for S35 camera sensors, the Laowa Argus S35 25mm T1 Cine Lens from Venus Optics features a Canon RF 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 9-blade iris and lens construction of 14 elements in 9 groups. The focus ring rotates 250°, and the iris ring 87° for intuitive manual adjustments with low focus breathing.

The lens features a 58.8° 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.

Q: 8. Is it 25mm on Canon mirrorless full frame R6? Thanks

A: The Venus Optics Laowa Argus 25mm f/0.95 CF APO Lens (Canon RF) is a lens designed for APS-C sized sensors. On the Canon EOS R6 Mirrorless Camera this will still perform like a 25mm, but with heavy vignetting. It may make most sense to use it in the 1.6x crop on that camera.

Q: 9. I understand this could be a more opinion based question but.. How would this lens be for hyperfocal/sharpness.. for that dreamy Malik look, would it hold up(on a budget)? .. also will it work for 8k on say an R5/R5C with a canon adapter?

A: The Venus Optics Laowa 12mm T2.9 Zero-D Cine Lens (Canon EF) is a good performing lens concerning sharpness, especially when stepped down. The Venus Optics Laowa 12mm T2.9 Zero-D Cine Lens (Canon EF) does cover the full-frame sensor on the Canon EOS R5 Mirrorless Camera and Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Cinema Camera when adapting the RF mount to EF mount.

Q: 10. What adapter could I use to attach this to a Lumix s5 camera?
