Venus Optics - LAOWA 24 mm F/14 2x Macro Probe for Canon EF VE2414C
Described as "strange but brilliant", the Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe with Canon EF mount from Venus Optics is a truly unique lens designed for close-up photography. Characterised by its long, thin lens barrel, this macro lens offers a maximum magnification of 2:1 with a minimum focus distance of 1.5' and a minimum working distance of close to 0.8". Even with such a short working distance, the lens measures 1.3' in length, placing you at a comfortable distance for photographing close-up subjects. Furthermore, as a wide-angle lens, a greater depth of field is achieved compared to traditional telephoto macro lenses, allowing for more background detail with less subject isolation.
The optical design includes both extra-low dispersion elements 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 allows focusing from 1.5' to infinity, and the front of the lens features an integrated LED ring to facilitate focusing at short distances. The slim 0.2" diameter of the front of the lens barrel also provides greater opportunities for front-lighting subjects. Additionally, the front part of the lens is waterproof and allows working with subjects just below the water surface or in other dusty or challenging environments.
Features
- Wide-angle prime lens designed for Canon EF full-frame mount cameras, can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide an equivalent focal length of 38.4 mm.
- Unique macro lens design offering a maximum magnification of 2:1 above real size with a minimum focus distance of 1.5' and a working distance of only 0.8".
- The long tubular lens barrel helps to produce a distinctive "bug-eye" perspective and, despite the short working distance, the length of the lens barrel places the camera at a comfortable shooting distance.
- The 24 mm wide-angle focal length offers a greater depth of field and more environmental detail than traditional telephoto macro designs, which tend to isolate the subject with shallow depth of field.
- The optical design includes two extra-low dispersion elements that control colour fringing and chromatic aberrations to produce greater clarity and colour accuracy. An extra refractive index element is also present, which reduces spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
- The slim 0.8" front diameter enables unique "sliding" shots and also offers a wider range of close-up and discreet shooting opportunities. The smaller front diameter also makes it easier to front-light close-up subjects.
- The front of the lens is also waterproof, allowing you to work comfortably just below the water surface or in dusty environments.
- The front of the lens also features an integrated LED ring, powered via a micro-USB port on the barrel, to provide lighting on close-up subjects to facilitate focusing.
- Designed to be used as a close-up macro lens, the manual focus operation also allows you to focus to infinity.
- The seven-blade aperture contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
