Laowa Argus S35 Cine 3-Lens Bundle (18mm, 25mm, 33mm) - Sony E — Ultra-fast T1 Aperture for Low-Light Cinematography

The Laowa Argus S35 Cine 3-lens bundle for Sony E offers filmmakers a compact set of lenses built specifically for Super35 camera systems. With an ultra-fast T1 maximum aperture, these lenses support low-light shooting and precise depth-of-field control. The bundle includes 18mm, 25mm and 33mm focal lengths designed to cover a wide range of cinematic framing needs, from wider environmental shots to tighter medium and portrait perspectives.

Designed for cinematic production

These Argus S35 Cine lenses combine cine-style features and a compact professional design. They come with industry-standard gearings and a uniform 80mm outer diameter, which simplifies rigging and accessories across all three focal lengths. As a result, you can quickly adapt the lenses to follow-focus systems, matte boxes, and filter setups without reconfiguring your rig for each lens.

Optical performance and aperture control

The lenses feature a bright T1 maximum aperture that supports shooting in challenging lighting conditions and enables creative control over subject separation. They offer an aperture range from T1 to T11 and a 9-blade iris that produces pleasing, cinematic bokeh. These characteristics make the lenses suitable for narrative filmmaking, commercials, documentaries, music videos, and other creative projects where image quality and depth-of-field control matter.

Construction and handling

Laowa built the Argus S35 Cine lenses with a robust metal housing that suits professional production environments. The compact metal construction aims for durability and precision handling, whether you use the lenses handheld or mounted on a rig. Cine-style gearings and consistent mechanical dimensions across the set provide predictable manual control and ease of use on set.

Optical design details

The optical construction includes special elements arranged to reduce chromatic aberration, distortion, and color fringing. With 14 elements in 9 groups, the design targets sharpness and accurate color reproduction across the frame, even when shooting wide open at T1. This optical layout helps maintain clarity and consistent image quality throughout typical cinematography workflows.
