Which Macro Probe Lens is the best? Laowa 24mm f14 Probe Lens vs. AstrHori 28mm f13

Beautiful compositions, great work.

How does the 28mm have a wider viewing angle than the 24mm?

If the camera and slider have not been moved at all it can only mean that the names of the lenses are the opposite!

That was the most naughty commercial setup 😅 … very cool

Colour can be sorted in camera surely. If you balanced from the cheaper lens first then the other is coming in warmer. Depends what your starting value is. And, when filming, I personally film flat anyway to give more range in premiere Pro. Good review though Karl. Thanks.

hey thanks for the video I was wondering which continuous light you have put in the 222 para ?

Thanks for sharing ❤

Just got my AstrHori and I love it. It has gears for my follow focus and it's very sharp. I rented a Laowa before and it was rally soft which I didn't like at all.

Nice Job Karl! Thank you for this comparison and superb explanation. I wish you all the best, but it looks like you've already arrived firmly at the top of your craft.

Very well done, Karl! I'm a biologist (Entomologist / Botanist) and have ever-so-many ideas for these lenses. The Laowa is on my list. Thank you.

i bought the loawa 24mm probe when it was first released for the sony. best thing i ever did with it was RAINX the front element because any water on the front element was a bugger to get rid of. with rainx applied it was amazing no issues and a brilliant lens loads of vids on my channel if people wanna see. but this was really interesting seeing the other version

Ok, how much of the Donuts ( Product) did you & the staff eat? LOL

Color rendering is so much better on the Laowa

Do you have to clean the sensor before using this lens? On normal lenses if you go over f4 big dust particles on the sensor start showing up on the recorded video. I wonder if this is the case

I've been dreaming of having one of those probe macro lenses since they created the first one some years ago but they're too expensive for me :(

Thanks Karl, enjoyable vid!

Every Karl video is a Gem!

Brilliant review! Thank you Karl and Team. I’d love to get one of these lenses some day ❤️
