Laowa Argus 35mm T1 FF Cine

The Laowa Argus 35mm T1 FF Cine is a T1 manual-focus cine prime that covers full frame. Its dia. 43.3mm image circle gives an angle of view of 63.4 deg, and at 2.09lbs / 950g it is the lightest lens in the full-frame Argus T1 set. Focus runs down to 1ft 7in / 0.5m for a maximum magnification of 0.11x. The optical design is 14 elements in 9 groups.

G&G stocks it in Sony E, Nikon Z and Canon RF. Focus and iris rings are geared for a follow focus, with a 270 deg focus throw and an 85 deg aperture throw, and the focus scale is marked in both metric and imperial. The iris runs 15 blades, filters thread on at dia. 77mm, and the 80mm front diameter matches the 28mm and 45mm in the set so a matte box or clip-on filter carries across the whole kit.
