A Need for Speed: Laowa announces the Argus 35mm F0.95

Laowa continues it's jaw dropping lens announcements with the world fastest 35mm dialing in at an F.95 ultra fast aperture.

While $899.99 seems like a lot for a manual lens, when you think about it. it's F.95. I mean what's a F1.2 35mm going for these days?

From Laowa;

Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 FF, the world’s first full-frame 35mm lens with f/0.95 ultra-fast aperture. It would be the fastest 35mm and widest f/0.95 lens for a full-frame mirrorless camera. This breakthrough of lens industry offers a 63.4° angle of view with extraordinary shallow depth of field and creamy bokeh, it’s such a trump card for portraits and any moody shots. In the meanwhile, an aperture click-switch, long focus throw and internal focusing also make it a must-have tool for every photographer and videographer.

It seems as if the RF version is available immediately.  There is no mention of a preorder or a wait time associated with purchasing. For further information and to purchase directly from Laowa go here.
