Venus Optics Laowa 24mm f/14 2x Macro Probe Lens for PL Mount Cine-Mod Version

SKU CH-M750-H9RY8

A 24mm f/14 probe lens achieving 2:1 macro with deep depth of field, waterproof tip and built-in LED ring light for PL-mount cinema cameras

  • Wide-angle bug-eye perspective captures surroundings
  • 2:1 macro to infinity focus reveals tiny details
  • Deep depth of field keeps background sharp
  • Waterproof front barrel allows shooting in wet conditions
  • Built-in LED ring light illuminates close subjects

Unique Bug-Eye Perspective

The Venus Optics Laowa 24mm f/14 2x Macro Probe Lens delivers a distinctive wide-angle 'Bug Eye' view for PL-mount cinema cameras. Its optical design provides deep depth of field at close distances, capturing both minute subject details and the surrounding environment in a single frame. The lens focuses continuously from 2:1 macro magnification to infinity. Full-frame coverage ensures compatibility with large-format sensors.

Tubular Barrel With LED Ring

A long, slender barrel lets the tiny lens tip approach subjects while the camera body remains at a comfortable working distance. The front section of the barrel is waterproof, allowing submersion for underwater or wet-environment shots. An integrated LED ring light at the tip provides illumination for close-up work where ambient light is blocked by the lens itself. The Cine-Mod version includes standardised gear rings for follow-focus systems.

For Macro Specialists Only

This probe lens suits cinematographers and macro photographers who need an immersive, wide-angle perspective at high magnification. The fixed f/14 aperture demands abundant lighting or high-sensitivity sensors, so low-light shooters should look elsewhere. The PL mount restricts use to compatible cinema cameras or adapters. Buyers seeking a conventional telephoto macro lens for portrait-distance working space will find the form factor unsuitable.

Questions about this item

Does the waterproof front barrel need any special care after being submerged?

Rinse the tip with fresh water and dry it thoroughly; the barrel is sealed for immersion but the LED ring and mount end are not waterproof.

What aperture setting limits exposure during extended macro video sessions?

The fixed f/14 aperture restricts light, so you will need strong continuous lighting or higher ISO to maintain exposure at 2:1 magnification.

How hot does the built-in LED ring get when run continuously for hours?

The ring is designed for intermittent use; prolonged operation will warm the barrel noticeably, so allow cooling breaks during all-day shoots.
