The EISA panel said ”The Laowa Argus 33mm f/0.95 CF APO is an exceptionally bright standard lens for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors. This ultra-large-aperture lens is perfect for both low-light photography and for obtaining extremely shallow depth of field – especially when combined with its 35cm closest focusing distance. Thanks to its apochromatic design, the colour fringing usually associated with fast apertures is unusually well controlled. The long focus throw, low focus breathing and stepless aperture ring also make it ideal for video use. It’s available in Canon RF, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z and Sony E mounts.”

The EISA panel said ”Currently the widest-angle shift lens on the market, this is characterised by its durable steel construction and excellent workmanship. Designed for use with full-frame cameras, both mirrorless and DSLRs, it provides ±11mm shift, which makes it ideal for correcting perspective in architectural and interior photography. Despite its very demanding optical design, it’s much more affordable than other ultra-wideangle shift lenses. All aspects of operation are manual, including focusing and aperture setting, with the shift mechanism using a unique rotary dial that’s both precise and easy to use. Thanks to its compact size, low weight and smooth, reliable operation, the lens is a fine choice for photographing architecture.”
