Venus Optics announces the Laowa RF 33mm f/0.95 (but it’s APS-C)
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Why are these companies still pushing so many fast and interesting lens at the crop frame market?
From what I'm seeing, most every camera company is moving fully into full frame.
I wish they'd make some anamorphic lenses, that were affordable in FF like they keep doing for crop sensors.....for example.
I like the really, really fast lenses too...why not do this for FF ?
Of if you're doing it for crop or MFT....why not do a comparable priced FF one too?
Geez, I get excited a lot these days, reading about a new fast or specialty lens....and then I see it is APS-C........yet I rarely see any mentions in the news for APS-C cameras at all, with the exception of Fuji.

Might make sense C70 and Komodo if nothing else.
The crop lenses are undoubtedly easier and cheeper to make with less glass. A 33mm f/0.95 for full frame would require a lot more glass, perhaps speciality glass, and completely different tooling.
Exactly. I always get a kick out of all the Olympus and Panasonic users pumped for 1.0/ 0.95 lenses being announced for their systems. You got new 1.8 and 2.0 FF equivalent lenses. *Looks at my 7 year old $100 1.8 nifty fifty* Congrats? Lmao
Beautiful it was. APSC sensor and this lens made me feel like I was watching a full-frame, high-end camera/lens.
I would suspect Venus Optics would have done enough research on the prospective market before making this lens. I wish them the very best.
No need to use the APS-C lens. They're coming out with a FF 35mm f/0.95 shortly as well: https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/...-f095-image-leaked-of-the-new-ultra-fast-lensInteresting, this is an APS lens, wonder what the vignette is like on a R body, could be dreamy
That lens would be great for when it is too dark for autofocus though manual focus during the day would be nearly impossible wide-open.
I bet they also make a cinema lens version that will be easier to manually focus.
Dear Canon: R7 please! And also M5 mk 2
That's what focus peaking is for....
Even with my bad eyesight, I'm surprising myself on how well I'm able to use manual focus lenses these days with the focus aids.
"35mm (1.15 feet) minimum focus distance" - 35mm is not 1.15 feet. 35 cm is.
As someone on a budget who’s sticking to solely crop cameras, I am likely to get this if/when the R7 comes out.
I've been doing really well with their 100mm f2.8 using the EOS R focus aids - but the f0.95 is still a bit scary hand-held! A 35mm is surely meant to be a walk-around, 'street' photography camera. But I'll look forward to reviews on usability.
Was thinking this myself, just grabbed a c70 last week. Would be handy for my c200 as well.
