Laowa Argus S35 Cine 33mm T1 - Fuji X

Laowa Argus S35 Cine 33mm T1 for Fuji X – Ultra-fast T1 aperture for low-light cinematography

The Laowa Argus S35 Cine 33mm T1 for Fuji X delivers cinema-grade optics and professional features tailored for Super35 camera systems. This lens offers an ultra-fast T1 maximum aperture that helps filmmakers work in low light and control depth of field. It pairs compact, robust construction with standard cine gearings to fit smoothly into both handheld and rig-based workflows.

Outstanding optical performance

The Argus S35 Cine 33mm uses a precise optical design of 14 elements in 9 groups. This layout reduces chromatic aberration, distortion, and colour fringing while maintaining sharpness and accurate colours across the frame. With a maximum aperture of T1 and an aperture range from T1 to T11, the lens supports low-light shooting and fine exposure control.

The 9-blade iris produces pleasing, cinematic bokeh. At wide-open apertures, you get strong subject separation and smooth focus transitions, which are valuable in narrative filmmaking, commercials, documentaries, and music videos.

Designed for professional use and compatibility

The lens incorporates industry-standard cine-style gearing and a uniform 80mm outer diameter. These features make it easy to mount follow-focus units, matte boxes, and filters. The front of the lens uses an M77 filter thread for direct filter attachment and compatibility with many accessories.

Laowa built the Argus S35 Cine 33mm in a compact, robust metal housing. The metal construction ensures durability and precise handling, even in demanding production environments.
