LAOWA 24mm f14 CF 0.8" PL FF LENS
This Macro Probe lens is really special. It is a 24mm wide angle lens and at the same time it is a 2x macro lens. It is 40 cm long, waterproof, covers the Full Frame sensor, focuses to within one centimetre of the front element and, thanks to its slim, elongated shape, can literally get inside objects. It even has a built-in, dimmable LED ring light around the front element, to help fill in shadows caused by the camera and/or camera operator. PL mount, with iris rings and gear focus so it can easily work with follow focus systems.
LAOWA 24MM T14 2X PERIPROBE LENS
The 24mm T14 2x PeriProbe not only inherits all the excellent features of the 24mm T14 2x PeriProbe lens, but now also includes a new periscope tube. The new 90° periscope tip unlocks countless new and exciting movements. The 85° AoV and a very short working distance of 2 cm help to create the insect's eye perspective. The 2x magnification makes it possible to capture subjects of different sizes in detail. Users can place the long, waterproof barrel in a narrow space and underwater for a unique perspective. The LED Lite ring provides an additional light source. Users can also switch from the 90° periscope to the 0° straight viewfinder. The lens can be rotated 360° along the axis by unlocking the orientation ring. Additional accessories can also be mounted on the lens tip through the 1/4 screw hole.
The Laowa 24mm T14 2x Periprobe is designed specifically for Full Frame sensors. It removes all the features of the Laowa 24mm f/14 2x Probe and adds a completely new periscope feature. The lens offers a new perspective and improved flexibility.
Users can point the camera up or down with the Periprobe to create a periscope perspective. This is useful when photographing something unreachable, such as a tree hole 2 metres up or a crab hiding in an underwater cave. It also makes set-ups easier, as you don't need a large tank or watertight housing for this shot.
Moving between objects that are close to each other often involves great complexity, unless a sophisticated mechanism is developed with programmes to move the objects back and forth to avoid collisions. It requires much time and preparation prior to shooting. With Periprobe, it is enough to move around the confined space by placing the cameras on sliders and tripods.
