Without going too much into technical details optical vignetting leads to the truncation of light circles towards the borders of the frame.<br \/>\nIn the center of the frame almost every lens will render a perfect circle, but only lenses with very low optical vignetting will keep this shape in the corners.<br \/>\nSo in the following comparison we move from the center (left) to the extreme corner (right) and see how the shape of the light circle changes.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav osc-res-nav

Generally, the bokeh of both these lenses is very similar.<\/p>\n<p>In the central part of the frame the faster T1.0 [f\/0.95] lens unsurprisingly pulls ahead, as it creates even stronger blur. In the border and corner regions that isn&#8217;t really the case though: here the lenses look pretty much the same at their maximum aperture opening. This is easily visible in the scenes 2, 3 and 4.<\/p>\n<p>What we also see here from scenes 2 to 5: when the T1.0 lens is stopped down to T1.2 hardly any differences remain. I couldn&#8217;t possibly tell them apart.<\/p>\n<p>In many of the scenes I do see the increased central blur of the T1.0 as an advantage, further emphasizing the impression of depth.<\/p>\n<h2>Sunstars<\/h2>\n<p><div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav osc-res-nav nav-tabs osc-tabs-left-ul\"

videographer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to super fast (by which I mean faster than f\/1.4) wide angle lenses, I really wonder when the first party manufacturers will enter the market.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t enough for Laowa to release the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-laowa-28mm-1-2-ffii-argus-the-worlds-fastest-28mm-lens\/\">Laowa 28mm 1.2 Argus<\/a> as the world&#8217;s fastest fullframe 28mm lens in 2022, only two years later they released this even faster Laowa 28mm 0.95 [T1.0] Argus. They are really competing with themselves here, which might be the reason they released the f\/1.2 as photography lens and this noticeably bulkier f\/0.95 [T1.0] as cine lens.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the look of the final images both these 28mm lenses produce very similar results. The bokeh in the central part of the frame is even more impressive with this faster lens, which in some scenes can really lead to an unseen, unique look.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for the sharpest lens, you may not be satisfied by this 28mm T1.0. When it comes to sharpness and coma correction, there are better corrected (slower) 28mm lenses availaibe. Here we should also keep in mind, that for cine applications and aspect ratios which are typical there, the corners of a 3:2 fullframe sensor will be cropped out anyway, so a good coma correction and good corner sharpness are not of utmost importance.<\/p>\n<p>But if creating that cinematic look with a wide angle view and shallow depth of field is what you are after, I think this lens might be for you.<\/p>\n<p><em>buy from <a href=\"https:\/\/laowacine.com\/product\/laowa-argus-t1-cine-series-ff\/?ref=58\">manufacturer&#8217;s shop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/bhpho.to\/4ceKdFP\">B&amp;H<\/a> (affiliate links) for <strong>$1499<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<h2>Alternatives<\/h2>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-sigma-28mm-1-4-art\/\">Sigma 28mm 1.4 Art<\/a>, the Nikon AF-S 28mm 1.4E, the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-nikon-af-28mm-1-4-d-the-wide-angle-noct-nikkor\/\">Nikon AF-D 28mm 1.4<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-laowa-28mm-1-2-ffii-argus-the-worlds-fastest-28mm-lens\/\">Laowa 28mm 1.2 Argus<\/a> are all part of my <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/comparison-fast-28mm-f-1-2-f-1-4-f-1-5-fullframe-lenses\/\">Fast 28mm Comparison<\/a>, so best have a look there first.
