Anhui, China—The Venus Optics 0.7x Focal Reducer for the 24mm f/14 2x Macro Probe was introduced. Venus Optics is a camera lens manufacturer specializing in unique lenses for photographers and cinematographers.

Furthermore, the new adapter reduces the crop factor when using probe lenses on APS-C, Super35 and Micro Four Thirds (MFT) system cameras. As a result, it helps retain the perspective of the Probe lens. The maximum aperture is boosted to f/10 as well.

It also reserves the original perspective of the Probe lens. What’s more, it  boosts the aperture by 1 stop, making it a brighter lens with an f/10 maximum.
