Experience next-level close-up shooting. Laowa 24mm f/14 2X Macro Probe Lens - Leica L features a greater-than-life-size 2:1 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 1.5' and a working distance of just 0.8".

The long, tubular lens barrel contributes to producing a distinct bug-eye perspective and, despite the short working distance, the length of the lens barrel places the camera at a comfortable shooting distance.

It features an optical design that includes two extra-low dispersion elements that control colour fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and colour accuracy. One extra refractive index element is also offered, which reduces spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.

Shooting and Waterproofing

The slim 0.8" front diameter enables performing unique "slide-in" shots as well as affords a greater range of close-up, inconspicuous shooting opportunities. The smaller front diameter also makes it easier to illuminate close-up subjects from the front.

This wide-angle 24mm focal length affords greater depth of field and more surrounding detail than traditional telephoto macro designs, which tend to isolate subject matter with shallow depth of field.

The front of the lens is waterproof, permitting you to comfortably work just under the surface of water or in dusty environments. It is designed for use as a close-up, macro lens, the manual focus operation allows you to focus at infinity. It also features a seven-blade diaphragm that contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
