This high maximum aperture allows for a shallow depth of field, enabling you to easily separate your subject from the background and create stunning bokeh effects. The lens's 13-blade aperture further enhances this, rendering creamy and dreamy bokeh that adds an artistic touch to your images.The Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 Lens for Canon RF is more than just a lens; it's a storyteller. With an angle of view (AoV) of 75.4 degrees, it captures more environmental details than the standard 50mm and 35mm lenses, helping you tell a more comprehensive story with your images. Despite its versatility and high performance, this lens is compact and lightweight, weighing just 562g (19.82oz). Its dimensions of 68.5 x 106mm make it an excellent travel companion for the passionate photographer who wants to capture every precious moment. The lens incorporates two ultra-high refractive (UHR) elements and two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements that enhance sharpness and contrast. This ensures remarkable sharpness across the entire frame, even at f/1.2 wide-open. Equipped with a 62mm filter thread, the lens accommodates ND, CPL, or other screw-in filters with ease. This eliminates the need for a heavy filter holder and allows you to shoot wide-open even in broad daylight by simply adding an ND filter. The Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 Lens for Canon RF is not only optimized for photography but also for videography. Its internal focusing design prevents dust from entering the lens and avoids collision with other objects. The lens also features an Aperture Ring Click Switch Mechanism, allowing you to choose between a clicked or silent aperture ring, catering to both your photography and video needs.
