Laowa Argus S35 Cine 25mm T1 - Fuji X — Ultra-fast T1 aperture for low-light cinematography

The Laowa Argus S35 Cine 25mm T1 for Fuji X delivers an ultra-bright T1 maximum aperture tailored for Super35 camera systems. It combines cinematic optical characteristics with professional cine-style mechanics, giving filmmakers a compact, rig-ready lens that performs well in low light and in controlled lighting situations.

Built for cinematic projects and versatile shooting

This lens targets narrative filmmaking, commercials, documentaries, music videos and other creative projects where cinematic imagery matters. Its T1 maximum aperture helps you rely less on extra lighting. As a result, you can capture natural-looking scenes while maintaining strong subject separation and cinematic depth of field.

Optical design and image quality

The Argus S35 Cine 25mm uses 14 elements arranged in 9 groups, including special elements to control aberrations. This optical construction reduces chromatic aberration, distortion and color fringing. Consequently, you get consistently sharp, color-accurate images across the frame, even at wide-open apertures.

Moreover, the lens features a 9-blade iris that produces pleasing, cinematic bokeh and smooth focus transitions. These characteristics enhance subject isolation and help create a filmic look in both close-ups and wider compositions.

Mechanics, handling and accessory compatibility

The lens offers professional cine-style gearings and a uniform 80mm outer diameter. This design makes it easy to fit follow-focus systems, matte boxes and other rig components. Additionally, the M77 front filter thread enables straightforward use of filters.

Laowa built the lens with a robust metal housing to withstand professional production conditions. The compact, professional-grade construction suits both handheld and rig-based filming, offering reliability and precise manual control on set.
