24mm f/14 2X Macro Probe overview
The Laowa 24mm f/14 2X Macro Probe is a 24mm f/14 prime for full-frame cameras on Canon EF / EF-S, Canon RF, Nikon F, Nikon Z, Sony E-mount, Pentax K and L-Mount, announced by Laowa in August 2018. 150 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors as well as macro. It is a weaker pick for low light without a tripod and fast-moving subjects.
New, it sells for $999 to $1,499 at the 3 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $770. It launched at $1,499.
