Laowa Probe Cine 24mm f/14 2X Macro Lens Sony E

Laowa Probe Cine 24 mm f/14 2× Macro Lens Sony E opens perspectives unreachable by conventional optics. The 408 mm long, 20 mm-thin waterproof probe slips between set pieces, through food platters or just below water-level without disturbing the scene. A 2:1 magnification ratio delivered at only 2 cm working distance renders insects, product textures and precision mechanisms life-size and beyond, while the 85° full-frame angle of view keeps surrounding context for dynamic storytelling.

Manual focus from 47 cm to infinity travels on standard 0.8-mod gears fitted to focus and iris rings, suiting all cine follow-focus and FIZ motors. Photometric T14–T40 engravings stay consistent under LED or HMI light, and the 7-blade diaphragm preserves circular bokeh even extremely close. The front element carries a dimmable USB-powered LED ring, illuminating crevices where external fixtures cannot reach and avoiding colour shifts thanks to neutral-white diodes.

Unlike telephoto macro lenses, the 24 mm focal length grants extended depth of field, simplifying rack-focus across multi-layer sets and dovetailing perfectly with full-frame cameras such as Sony FX9, FX6 or VENICE. At only 474 g and 38 mm barrel diameter the lens mounts easily on gimbals, borescope heads and motorised sliders, enabling signature “slide-through” shots once reserved for endoscopes.

For table-top commercials, wildlife documentaries or forensic investigation, this all-metal lens offers unrivalled versatility: waterproof sealing rated for brief immersion, fan-less passive cooling for silent studios, scratch-resistant front glass and a robust case for rental fleets. Laowa Probe Cine 24 mm f/14 2× Macro remains the benchmark tool for immersive, technically precise close-ups in professional cinema, broadcast and streaming pipelines.
