The Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens from Venus Optics is a truly unique and innovative lens, designed for extreme close-up photography and videography. Distinguished by its slender, long barrel, this macro lens provides a remarkable 2:1 maximum magnification with a 1.5-foot minimum focusing distance, allowing you to capture subjects in exceptional detail. The lens also boasts a close working distance of just 0.8 inches, enabling you to photograph even the smallest subjects while maintaining a comfortable shooting position. Despite its short working distance, the long tubular design ensures you can work at a safe distance from the subject.

This wide-angle 24mm lens offers a greater depth of field compared to telephoto macro lenses, allowing for more background detail and less subject isolation. The optical design incorporates two extra-low dispersion elements and one extra-refractive index element, effectively reducing chromatic aberrations and spherical distortions. This ensures high clarity, color accuracy, and sharpness in your images and videos.

Designed with videographers in mind, the cine-mod version of the lens features integrated gears on both the aperture and focus rings, making it easy to use with a follow focus system. Additionally, the lens has a built-in LED ring light at the front, powered via a micro-USB port, which provides illumination for close-up subjects and aids in focusing.

The front portion of the lens is waterproof, making it ideal for working in challenging environments such as underwater or dusty locations. With its unique design and features, the Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens offers an exceptional tool for capturing high-quality close-up imagery in a wide variety of settings.
