Venus Optics Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens for Canon EF

Includes: USB Cable Dimmer with Power Adjustment, USB Cable, Hard Case

More

INCLUDES

  • USB Cable Dimmer with Power Adjustment
  • USB Cable
  • Hard Case

OWNER NOTES

Described as "weird but genius," the Canon EF-mount Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe from Venus Optics is a truly unique lens designed for close-up shooting. Distinguished by its long, slender lens barrel, this macro lens provides a 2:1 maximum magnification with a 1.5' minimum focusing distance and a close 0.8" minimum working distance. Even with such a close working distance, the lens measures 1.3' long, placing you at a comfortable distance to photograph nearby subjects. Also, as a wide-angle lens, greater depth of field is afforded when compared to traditional telephoto macro lenses, which allows for greater detail in the background with less subject isolation.

I was able to pick up this gear within a matter of hours, and everything was in good condition. Good communication. They were flexible on drop off. I did have to wait outside for 30 minutes to drop off my gear which was a bummer, but I understand trains were running slowly on the weekend. Either way, I would rent from them again.

They were helpful and informative.

Last week I rented with these guys and they were super attentive. They have made it everthing easier and also gave me tips on how to solve an editing problem. I will probably rent with them again!
