LAOWA 24mm f14 sample for Pentax K
The LAOWA Probe lens may be a strange looking "snorkel lens", but it is one of the most interesting macro lenses on the market. With this endoscope lens, you can take very unique photos and videos from an insect perspective that would never be possible with other lenses.
This particular macro lens has 27 lens elements in a 20mm thin telescopic and waterproof tube. At 24mm, it is a wide-angle macro lens for full-frame cameras with a magnification of 2:1 max. The wide-angle design and small aperture result in a huge depth of field. For illumination and focusing, an LED ring light is built in at the tip.
Due to this construction, unique effects succeed in tabletop, macro and close-up. Not only low perspective shots but also physically impossible shots are easily possible.
How would it be for example with:
- a film through the middle of fruit or vegetables or dipping into a bubbling drink?
- Photos from the inside of an architectural model or in the middle of a toy train?
- Shots from a flower, the terrarium or even aquarium or garden pond?
There are no limits to creativity with this lens!
You can use a power bank or USB power supply as a power source for the built-in LED ring light.
