Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens - Nikon F

Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens – 2:1 Macro Magnification and Built-in LED Ring Light (Nikon F)

The Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens for Nikon F offers a unique tool for filmmakers and macro photographers who need access to tight, deep, or wet environments. Its probe-style barrel and integrated LED ring light let you approach subjects closely while illuminating them evenly. Use it for product detail, wildlife close-ups, food shots, or creative video work where conventional lenses cannot reach.

What this lens does

The probe design allows you to place the lens deep into narrow spaces or close to subjects without disturbing them. It focuses as close as 2 cm and provides a 2:1 magnification ratio, enabling twice life-size reproduction for extreme close-ups. Despite its close-focus capabilities, the lens also focuses smoothly to infinity for more general shooting when needed.
