The Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens (Cine) is a full-frame PL mount lens designed for cinema and videography. The lens features an f/14 to f/40 aperture range and a 24mm focal length. Its 2:1 to infinity magnification is ideal for close-up shots, while the 47cm minimum focus distance enables you to get close to your subject. An integrated focus and aperture gear allows you to adjust both the focus and aperture without having to use an external follow focus system.

The Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens (Cine) has two extra-low dispersion elements, one extra refractive index element, and optical coatings that suppress ghosting and flare. It also features an integrated LED ring light that can be used as a video light or as eye light when shooting portraits.

The lens has a distinguished long barrel with a small front diameter, which allows performing unique "slide-in" shots as well as greater range of close-up and makes it ideal for compatibility with matte boxes, filters, and other accessories. The front lens barrel is waterproof for use in inclement weather conditions or underwater shooting scenarios.


Product Features in Detail


Bug Eye Perspective

Macro lenses in the market tend to have a long focal length (from 60mm to 180mm) and the subject fills most of the frame, isolating it from the surrounding environment. Our Laowa 24mm, allows you to focus very close – 2 cm at 2:1 – to the subject, showing more detail and texture. At the same time, you can enjoy a compelling wide angle ‘Bug Eye’ view (84.1°) so that more of the background details may be included in the image. You can easily create a very informative and stunning macro bug-eye perspective that no other lens can do! The fact that it can focus really close to the subject enables far more shooting possibilities.


2:1 Macro to Infinity Focus
As macro photographers ourselves, we usually face the problem of not being able to shoot smaller subjects. With our Laowa probe, you can now take advantage of the 2:1 maximum magnification to shoot very small bugs and reveal details that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is particularly useful for videographers since both finer details and environmental backgrounds can be captured in one shot.


Deep Depth of Field
The wide-angle design also means much greater depth of field at close distances compared to the telephoto macro lens, more background details are now visible. Being able to focus so close but still have depth of field is a significant advantage, both in studio and in outdoor photography.

For example, the bug below is around 4 mm (0.15 in.) in size and it was captured by our 24mm f/14 Probe at 2:1 Macro magnification. The greater DOF allows more leaf area to be in focus compared to telephoto lens.

The less blurry background allows the habitat of the subject to be included in your photo.


Long and Tubular Lens Barrel
From a filmmaking perspective, the Tubular Lens barrel also allows shooting a lot of “slide in” shots through tiny areas. Imagine sliding the lens between candles on your birthday cake or sliding the lens inside a drink bottle. Something that no other lens on earth can do. Our opening product showcase shot in the main video also used this technique.

Shooting lethal snakes? No problem. The long lens barrel also allows us to keep a safe distance away from shooting lethal snakes. Your big camera body and lens will no longer “alert” your subject of your arrival.


Tiny Lens Tip
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. Our Laowa probe, on the other hand, features a 20mm diameter lens tip which makes it super easy to obtain sufficient illumination.

The tiny 0.2 cm diameter lens tip unlocks the possibility to get really close to your subject or very low to the ground to capture a “delicious” perspective never seen before and maximizes the visual impact. Your viewers are literally walking on the pizza!

Or you can insert it into caves, bottles or burrows holes for unique footage.


Waterproof Front Barrel
You think that’s cool enough? Think again! To bring you an even more exciting perspective and take your photos or video to the next level, we have made the front barrel of the Laowa probe waterproof. The waterproof design also implies that shooting in dusty environments or with fine powders is not going to be a problem anymore. You can literally use it anywhere.


LED Ring Lite
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 is compatible with Canon EF, Nikon F, Pentax K and Sony FE mount cameras


Super Light to Carry
Despite the unusual look and long tubular design, the Laowa probe is actually very light and easy to carry. It weighs barely more than one pound, just 474 grams.

From indie to professional. From macro to wide angle. From still to video. From studio to wildlife. This lens is designed for everyone. This lens will allow every photographer a new striking perspective to shoot. Are your ready to infuse your creativity into this lens and create shots that nobody has seen before?
