Laowa Venus 105mm f/2.0 Smooth Trans Focus Lens - Canon EF

Laowa 105mm F2 Smooth Trans Focus Lens: A Detailed Overview

This remarkable lens, the Laowa 105mm F2 Smooth Trans Focus, is a concise telephoto lens specifically engineered for full-frame Canon cameras with EF-mount. Although primarily designed for full-frame cameras, it can also accommodate APS-C models, offering an equivalent focal length of 168mm.

The distinctive optical design encapsulates an apodisation (APD) element that works with dual separate apertures of 8 and 14 blades to facilitate a seamless bokeh gradient and comprehensive control over exposure and depth of field. It is designed to create spectacularly circular out-of-focus highlights, providing a pleasing selection of shallow depth-of-field effects.

The APD element functions nearly like a radial gradient density filter which pushes the limits of light transmission to a T-stop value of 3.2. In addition to the exquisite depth of field, the lens exhibits selective attention towards the qualities of a true f / 2 design.

Beyond the innovative features of this APD element, the lens incorporates three 'low dispersion' elements and an additional refractive index element, playing a crucial role in controlling chromatic aberration and color fringes — an essential aspect of maintaining distinct clarity and sharpness.

To supplement the above features, the lens embraces manual focusing and manual diaphragm, giving you the flexibility to set the focus and exposure precisely as per your requirements in sync with the APD element.
