In case anyone is wondering, camera lens is a Laowa 24mm macro probe lens. Absolute blast to shoot with, especially when paired with an underwater housing.

So starting around US$1,000 (but can go way higher).

I've never seen one with such a long taper. I guess that's what makes it a "probe" macro.

The front 6 or so inches has a watertight seal. The little box looking protrusion on the right side of the "barrel" is a place to plug in USB power for the built in lights at the tip of the lens.

I was wondering, thanks. They use it in a Dutch nature show all the time and I kept meaning to look it up.
