Laowa Probe Zoom Macro Lens: A Revolutionary Addition The Laowa Probe Zoom Macro Lens set is an innovative addition to Laowa's industry-renowned Full Frame probe lens lineup, featuring the 15-35mm T12 and 15-24mm T8. Being the widest and largest range probe lens on the market, it boasts a 110.5 angle of view and a 2.3x zoom range for significant changes in magnification and perspective. The 40cm-longest waterproof tubular design empowers filmmakers to capture deep, hard-to-reach subjects with unparalleled flexibility and top-notch image quality.
Key Features:
15mm Ultra-Wide Perspective
2.3x Zoom Range with Parfocal Design
4 Versatile Modules: Direct, Periscope, 35 View and the additional 90 View
Up to 2.3x Magnification for extreme close-ups
Unrivaled Sharpness & Superior Image Quality
Waterproof, Long Tubular Barrel for versatile shooting conditions
360 rotation for front modules
The lens set features a modular design with 4 interchangeable front modules and 2 main barrels, allowing users to switch between Direct View, Periscope, 35 View, with one more 90 perspective announced. The rear tubes come in two focal ranges: 15-24mm T8 and 15-35mm T12, offering 8 unique combinations.
With a maximum T8 aperture, 15mm ultra-wide perspective, up to 2.3x magnification, and a waterproof barrel, this lens excels in extreme close-ups (as close as 5mm), low-light conditions, and underwater filming. It's a versatile tool for advertising, wildlife documentaries, and cinema production, delivering unmatched storytelling potential.
A unique 360 rotational ring is installed in front of the lens body, this patent-pending front rotation design allows the tube to rotate independently from the focus and zoom ring, and users can produce sweeping and dynamic shots while being able to control the focus and zoom ring.
