Laowa 24mm f14

24mm | Laowa lens objective Laowa Macro

Described as "weird but cool," Venus Optics' CANON EF-mount 24mm f/14 Laowa lens is a truly unique lens designed for close-up shots. Distinguished by its long and thin lens body, this macro lens offers a maximum magnification of 2:1 with a minimum focusing distance of 1.5' and a minimum working distance of 0.8". Even with such a close working distance, the lens is 1.3' long. place it at a comfortable distance to photograph nearby subjects. In addition, as a wide-angle lens, it offers a greater depth of field compared to traditional telephoto macro lenses, allowing for greater detail in the background with less subject isolation.

The optical design includes extra-low dispersion elements and additional refractive index, which help suppress chromatic and spherical aberrations for a high degree of clarity, color accuracy and sharpness. Manual focus control allows focusing from 1.5' to infinity, and the front of the lens has a built-in LED light ring to help focus at close distances. The slim 0.2" diameter of the front of the lens cylinder also offers greater opportunities to illuminate subjects from the front. In addition, the front of the lens is waterproof, and allows you to work with subjects just below the surface of the water or in other dusty or dusty places. Treating environments.

• The first wide-angle is designed for EF-mount full-frame CANON cameras, however, it can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide an equivalent focal length of 38.4mm.

• The unique macro lens design offers a maximum magnification of 2:1 of life size, along with a minimum focusing distance of 1.5' and a working distance of only 0.8".

• The lens's long tubular tube contributes to producing a distinct insect-eye perspective and, despite the short working distance, the length of the lens cylinder places the camera at a comfortable distance for shooting.

• The 24mm wide-angle focal length offers greater depth of field and more surrounding detail than traditional telephoto macro designs, which tend to isolate the object with shallow depth of field.

• The optical design includes two extra-low dispersion elements that control color stripes and chromatic aberrations to produce greater clarity and color accuracy. An additional refractive index element is also included, which reduces spherical aberrations and distortion to improve sharpness and accurate rendering.

• The slim 0.8" front diameter allows for unique 'sliding' shots and offers a greater variety of close-up and discreet shooting possibilities. The smaller front diameter also makes it easy to illuminate foreground subjects from the front.

• The front of the lens is also waterproof, allowing it to work comfortably just below the surface of the water or in dusty environments.

• The front of the lens also has a built-in LED ring light, which is powered via a micro-USB port on the cylinder, to provide some illumination on the foreground subjects for easier focusing.

• Designed to be used as a close-up macro lens, the manual focus operation also allows you to focus at infinity.

• The seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality.
