Key Features
- Full-Frame Format | F/14 to f/40
- High Depth-of Field Macro Lens
- Magnification: 2:1 to Infinity
- Long Lens Barrel, Small Front Diameter
Described as "weird but genius," the Pentax K-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.

What’s the best set up for the Panasonic S1H? Should I get the Canon EF model and use an adapter?
Being that the lens is fully manual, you can use either the Canon EF, Nikon F or Pentax K model with the appropriate Leica L mount adapter.

I have both a Nikon D800 and a Canon Rebel T7I. You sell adapters to convert one to the other, so which lens mount should I get and which adapter so the lens could technically work on either?
There are only adapters going from Nikon F to a Canon EOS body such as the FotodioX Pro Lens Mount Adapter for Nikon F Lens to Canon EF-Mount Camera, B&H # FOPCEANF. That being said you can go with the Venus Optics Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens for Nikon F for your D800 and adapt to the T7i when needed.

Is it sharp?
I'd say it is not very sharp, no where near as sharp as say the 100mm f/2.8 Canon L macro lens.

What is the exact diameter of the focus ring on this lens? I would like to put a Cool-Lux Ring Gear on it and the smallest measure is 60 mm. Do you recommend another model of ring in another brand? Do you think it is necessary to pay $ 200 more for the focus rings and iris?
Unfortunately, Venus Optics does not publish the diameter of the focus ring on this lens. If you wish to use it with a follow focus system, you could add an adjustable focus gear such as the Kamerar Universal Geared Lens Belt for FF-3, BH # KAKFF3B.
