Laowa Argus FF Cine 45mm T1 for Nikon Z

In the allotment of the Argus T1 Cine series, the Laowa Argus FF Cine 45mm T1 for Nikon Z finds its spot. This collection is a selection of Full-Frame, Super35, and MFT optics, spanning from 18mm to 45mm focal lengths. The Argus T1 Cine series serves up a unique visual experience; a blend of magnetic depth of field mixed with a dreamy bokeh. Offering exceptional low light performance due to its T1 aperture, the collection ensures a silky-smooth transition from sharp to blurry areas. Such lenses are a desired tool for filmmakers seeking a one-of-a-kind style and an emphasis on character-centric shots.

Engraved in history, the Argus T1 Cine series is the pioneer of the T1 line offering maximum aperture and providing focal lengths of 45mm and 35mm in full-frame format.

The use of selective focus vanishes the background into ambiguity, guiding the audience's attention towards the director's intended subject. The chosen subject gets accentuated, cleaning the frame from any distracting elements.

Even with the known challenge of chromatic aberration prevalent in ultra-bright apertures, the Argus T1 Cine series has been meticulously crafted to deliver top-grade optical performance. Chromatic aberration is kept at a bare minimum, ensuring the preservation of sharpness and contrast, even at the challenging T1 aperture.

A significant advantage of the T1 aperture is its low light shooting ability. Especially beneficial for productions with limited extra lighting, it permits the capture of bright shots without unnecessarily hiking up the ISO speed.

This range stands out with its astonishing minimum focus distance beginning at 0.2 meters. It allows photographers to capture breath-taking shots with wonderfully blurred backgrounds while keeping the smallest details of the subject intact. Such features introduce a fresh outlook to enhance your photographing experience.

Each focal length in the Argus T1 Cine series is engineered with precision for consistent color delivery and performance. It aims at minimizing the need for post-production adjustments when switching between various focal lengths, ensuring visual consistency in your projects.
