## Long description

Laowa 24mm f/14 2× Probe by Venus Optics is a specialist macro lens for MILC and SLR cameras offering up to 2× magnification and a distinctive wide-angle 'bug eye' perspective. The lens uses a 27-element/19-group optical design inside a slim 38 mm-diameter probe tube and a total length of 408 mm, enabling close-up work in confined or hard-to-reach places. The front of the probe is waterproof and houses a ring LED light designed to illuminate subjects at very short working distances. The lens supports full-frame and Super35 formats and is supplied with a USB dimmer cable, a second USB cable, a lens bag and a rugged metal carry case. Available mount options include Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony FE, Pentax K and Arri PL, and a cine-style variant with geared rings is offered for video use.
Advantages
The wide-angle optical design produces a much greater depth of field at close distances compared with conventional telephoto macro lenses, so more background context is recorded alongside the subject. The probe format and 408 mm length allow access to narrow spaces and awkward angles while maintaining a safe working distance. Built-in LED illumination at the probe tip provides consistent, adjustable lighting for close macro subjects, and the waterproof front barrel increases usability for field, studio and industrial applications. Lightweight construction and included protective case make the lens portable and easy to transport.
Suitable for
 Insect and small animal macro photography where close access and extended working distance are needed
 Product and still-life macro shooting of small objects with contextual background
 Industrial inspection and documentation in confined or hazardous spaces
 Videography and cinematography using the cine-mod with geared focus and aperture rings
 Scientific, museum or conservation photography requiring detailed close-ups with environmental context

How to use
Mount the Laowa 24mm f/14 2× Probe to a compatible camera body and secure any supplied mounting hardware. Connect the LED ring light using the included USB cable and, if required, the USB dimmer to adjust illumination output; the LED requires an external power source such as a portable battery pack. Compose and focus manually using the focus ring while viewing with live view or through an electronic viewfinder to achieve precise framing at close distances. Use a tripod or support when working at high magnifications to minimise camera movement. When shooting in wet or dusty environments, ensure the waterproof front barrel is intact and take care with cable routing to maintain connections and seal integrity.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use live view at high magnification and focus peaking if available, work with controlled LED illumination to avoid harsh hotspots, and stabilise the camera for sharp images. Choose the cine-mod version if repeatable geared focus and aperture control are required for video production. Keep an external power bank for continuous lighting during field sessions and transport the lens inside the supplied metal case when not in use.
