Create unique 'bug-eye' product shots and more with the Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens (Cine) - Sony E, a unique lens designed for close-up shooting. Distinguished by its long and slender lens barrel, this macro lens provides a 2:1 maximum magnification with a 46cm minimum focusing distance and a close 2m minimum working distance. Even with such a close working distance the lens measures 40cm long, placing you at a comfortable distance to photograph nearby subjects. Also, as a wide-angle lens, greater depth of field is afforded when compared to traditional telephoto macro lenses, allowing for greater detail in the background with less subject isolation.
The optical design includes both extra-low dispersion and extra-refractive index elements, which help to suppress chromatic and spherical aberrations for a high degree of clarity, colour accuracy, and sharpness. Manual focus control permits focusing from 46cm to infinity, and the front of the lens has a built-in LED ring light to aid in focusing at close distances. The slim 2cm diameter of the front of the lens barrel also offers greater opportunities for lighting subjects from the front. Additionally, the front portion of the lens is waterproof and permits working with subjects just beneath the surface of the water or in dusty or trying environments.
