New Lens For Macro Photographers

Post by Pen Pusher »

Due to hit the shops next year, the Laowa 24mm f/14 Relay 2x Macro lens has a rather long lens barrel that Laowa says can be used to shoot shy subjects at difficult spots without scaring them. :hide:

I think shooting handheld at 2x macro would be impossible with that lens, the smallest movement would be massively amplified with the length of that lens!
