Whops, I owe you a correction.
Yesterday Venus Optics contacted me and asked to share on FujiRumors the news about their new Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 is coming.
They did not specify the mounts, but since they know I cover only Fujifilm stuff, I assumed they’d pass me only Fujifilm related information and I did share the article here.
But sadly that was not the case.
After the scepticism some of you expressed in the comments, I did contact Venus Optics again, and I can now confirm that the Laowa Argus 29mm f/1.2 will NOT be coming for Fujifilm X mount.
I do apologize for the error and I have now clarified with Venus Optics that further communication between us shall only happen if Fujifilm related gear is involved or/and the available mounts are clearly specified.
This should make sure that such errors won’t occur in future.
Sorry guys.
UPDATE: it won’t come for X mount. The cause of the error has been explained here.
Venus Optics is going to announce the Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 lens for Fujifilm X mount next week.
