Laowa has announced its new Argus 28mm f/1.2 FF lens. This is the latest offering in the Argus Ultra-fast Aperture Series.
Other lenses in the Argus series include the 25mm, 33mm, 35mm, and 45mm f/0.95. Laowa seems to be making all of the focal lengths very close to each other and it will be interesting to see if they end up making anything longer than a 45mm.

The Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 FF is being billed as a modern take on the classic and versatile 28mm focal length. It is claimed to render impressive sharpness and optical performance even when used wide-open.
