Product Description
The Venus Optics Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens (Sony E, Cine-Mod Version) is one of the most innovative macro lenses available, offering filmmakers and photographers a unique combination of ultra-wide-angle perspective and 2:1 macro magnification. Unlike traditional macro lenses, its long, slender probe design allows users to capture immersive close-up footage from angles that would otherwise be impossible, making it a favorite for commercials, nature films, documentaries, food cinematography, tabletop productions, and creative visual storytelling.
Featuring a 40cm waterproof front barrel, the Probe Lens can safely extend into water, narrow spaces, plants, food, machinery, and other hard-to-reach environments while keeping the camera body at a comfortable working distance. The waterproof front section also simplifies capturing dramatic split-level and underwater macro perspectives. (Only the front barrel is waterproof; the camera mount and rear lens assembly are not.)
The Cine-Mod Version is purpose-built for professional video production, incorporating 0.8 MOD cine gears on both the focus and aperture rings for seamless compatibility with follow focus systems, wireless lens motors, and cinema rigs. Its manual focus mechanism provides precise control for critical focus adjustments during macro filmmaking.
Designed for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, the lens produces a unique cinematic look by combining an expansive 24mm field of view with life-size and beyond life-size magnification. Built-in LED illumination helps light subjects when working extremely close, making it easier to achieve detailed, high-quality macro footage even in challenging environments. (venuslens.net)
