Venus Optics Aurogon FF 10-50x NA0.5 Supermicro APO:
B&H Photo / Laowa

The Venus Optics Aurogon FF 10-50x NA0.5 Supermicro APO is a unique lens that was announced a while ago, but it is only just starting to become available from B&H Photo. There are also some reviews/previews now available that you can watch below for this very unique microscope lens. There wasn’t much information about this lens when it launched, but its ability to be used on full frame and medium format systems could lead to some exciting new shooting opportunities.

Cyber Monday / Black Friday Deals Will Be Ending Soon!

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 27, 2023

Black Friday has come and gone and much of what was on sale carried over onto Cyber Monday. The only interesting new savings I found were for Apple M3 computers and if you need storage for your Mac the SanDisk Thunderbolt 3 storage is just about the fastest external you will find for the price.
