The Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens for Canon EF-mount cameras is a truly unique tool, combining impressive close-up capabilities with creative wide-angle perspectives. Featuring a 2:1 maximum magnification, this lens allows for extreme macro shots with a 1.5-foot minimum focusing distance and a close working distance of just 0.8 inches. Despite its close working distance, the long, slender design of the lens ensures you can shoot comfortably while maintaining distance from your subject, making it ideal for photographing delicate objects or exploring new perspectives.
The wide 24mm focal length provides a greater depth of field compared to telephoto macro lenses, capturing more background detail and reducing subject isolation. This optical design includes two extra-low dispersion elements and one extra-refractive index element to suppress chromatic and spherical aberrations, ensuring sharp, clear, and color-accurate images.
Designed with versatility in mind, the lens also features a built-in LED ring light powered via a micro-USB port to aid focusing on close-up subjects. Additionally, the slim 0.8-inch front diameter allows for unobtrusive and unique shooting angles, such as “slide-in” shots, and makes it easier to illuminate subjects directly from the front. The waterproof front section ensures the lens can be used in challenging environments such as underwater or dusty areas.
With manual focus control for focusing from 1.5 feet to infinity, this lens is a fantastic option for both photography and videography, especially in creative and challenging situations. The seven-blade diaphragm produces a pleasing bokeh, further enhancing the quality of your close-up shots.
