About this item
Product details
Previously funded in Kickstarter and ranked 2nd in the all-time most funded lens project, The Laowa 24mm f/14 2x Probe is the world’s first consumer-grade probe lens which focuses from 2:1 macro to infinity and with a compelling wide angle ‘Bug Eye’ perspective. This Sony FE mount can cover both standard 35mm full frame and Super35 image sensors and is super lightweight to carry. The wide angle design means much greater depth of field at close distances than possible with conventional telephoto macro lens, so more background details can now be seen. The front barrel of the lens is waterproof and an LED ring light is mounted at the tip of the lens. The lens includes a white USB cable dimmer (with power adjustment), black USB cable (no power adjustment), lens bag and metal case. The built-in LED light is powered by an external battery (sold separately).
Deep Depth of Field
The wide angle design also means much greater depth of field at close distances (compared to the telephoto macro lens) so that more background details can now be seen. Being able to focus so close but still have deep depth of field is a big advantage for both studio and wildlife photography.
Long Tubular Lens Barrel
For traditional macro lenses, you need to get really close to your subject in order to take a good macro shot. But some areas are just simply inaccessible. Thanks to the 15.7 inches (40 cm) long barrel, you can focus really close to the subject but still keep yourself and your camera a reasonable distance away. This feature is super useful and makes your macro shooting so much easier. From a filmmaking perspective, the Tubular Lens barrel also allows shooting a lot of “slide in” shots through tiny areas.
Tiny Lens Tips
Getting proper lighting onto the subject is not always an easy task for macro photography. Typical macro lenses have large lens barrels (at least 60mm or above in diameter), blocking most of the light from hitting the subject. This probe lens, on the other hand, features a 20mm diameter lens tip which makes it super easy to get sufficient illumination.
Waterproof Front Barrel
In order to bring you an even more exciting perspective and take your photos or video to the next level, the Laowa probe features a waterproof front barrel. The waterproof design also implies that shooting in dusty environments or with fine powders is not going to be a problem anymore. You can virtually use it anywhere.
LED Ring Light
Macro photography is about Depth of Field and smaller apertures are usually required. An LED ring light (powered by an optional external battery) is embedded in the lens tip to provide additional lighting for focus assistance. In most cases, the more lighting you have on your subject, the better your shot will look. An included variable-output Control cable lets you adjust the amount of light from the LED.
Full Frame Coverage
The Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe can cover both the standard 35mm full frame and Super35 image sensors.
Lightweight Design
Despite the long tubular design, the Laowa probe is actually super light and easy to carry. It weighs only 1.04 pounds (474 grams).
