Laowa Argus 45mm f/0.95 FF - Nikon Z Lens

The Laowa 45mm f/0.95 is a full-frame E-mount lens that features a fast f/0.95 aperture, allowing you to capture images in low light with ease. The 72mm filter size is large enough to cover most lenses, and the 45mm focal length gives you more flexibility when shooting different subjects in your scenes.

The 13 elements in 9 groups design incorporates three ultra high refractive (UHR) elements, one extra-low dispersion (ED) element, and one aspherical element to reduce chromatic aberrations throughout the aperture range. This results in sharp and clear images with minimal flare or ghosting. The 19.7" minimum focus distance allows you to fill the frame with up close subjects such as flowers or small plants without worrying about including distracting background details or having to use a macro lens attachment on your camera body instead.

The lens is de-clicked so that you can adjust its aperture setting smoothly without clicking noises being recorded by your camera's microphone when recording audio during video shoots as well as when manually adjusting it during still photography sessions. You can also select between clicked positions for convenience when shooting handheld snapshots outdoors instead of requiring manual focus for each shot taken on location!
