Aperture
The Venus Laowa 24mm F14 2x Macro Probe features a maximum aperture of F14 and can be stopped down to a minimum aperture of F40.

Given the wider 24mm field of view, the background will naturally stay a bit more in focus, making it ideal for environmental portraits, street photography, or landscapes where context matters. The minimum setting of F40 is excellent for deep depth of field work like macro photography, though you may want to avoid the absolute smallest settings to skip the sharpness loss caused by optical diffraction.
