Laowa 24mm f/14 2X Macro Probe Lens for Nikon F

The Laowa 24mm Probe is a one-of-a-kind macro lens designed for Nikon F mount systems. It combines a 2X magnification ratio with a 24mm wide-angle view, offering a creative visual style that’s impossible with standard macro lenses. Unlike conventional gear, it allows you to explore subjects from dramatic angles and distances — even in challenging or wet environments.

Advanced Optical Design

This lens provides a magnification range from 2:1 down to 1:1, letting you capture life-size and larger-than-life detail. Moreover, the wide 24mm focal length gives a deeper depth of field, helping more of your subject stay in focus. Inside the lens, 27 elements in 19 groups help maintain clarity and reduce distortion across the frame. While the aperture is fixed at f/14, it can be adjusted down to f/40 for enhanced control. It’s compatible with full-frame Nikon F cameras, delivering edge-to-edge sharpness in macro settings.

Specialized Barrel and Build

What sets the Laowa 24mm Probe apart is its long, narrow barrel. This allows it to slip into tight spaces where traditional lenses can’t reach. In addition, the front of the barrel is waterproof, so you can shoot in damp conditions or shallow liquids without damage. The built-in LED ring light at the front gives consistent illumination at close distances, ensuring your subjects are well-lit even in dark or enclosed areas. Power for the LED light comes via an included USB cable.

Handling and Creative Use

This is a fully manual lens, giving you precise focus control. Even though the barrel is long, it feels balanced in hand. Since it doesn’t rely on autofocus or electronics, it performs reliably in any environment. You can easily maneuver it around subjects without causing disruption.

Creative Applications

Use the Laowa 24mm Probe for scenes others can’t capture. You can shoot bugs, plants, miniatures, and tight interiors from within or around the subject. Because of its wide depth of field, your creative compositions will stay sharp and immersive.

The Laowa 24mm Probe for Nikon F is more than a lens — it’s a storytelling tool. Its optical power, unique form, and creative reach let you bring entirely new perspectives to life.
