Laowa PeriProbe 24mm T14 2X Macro Lens PL

Push macro cinematography beyond the possible with this full-frame 24 mm T14 cine macro lens that reaches 2:1 magnification while delivering an ultra-wide 85 ° angle of view. A slender 29 mm barrel and 40.8 cm length slide through miniature sets, food plates or engine bays, staying 2 cm from the subject while the camera remains safely outside. The detachable straight and 90 ° periscope modules share the same optical path: 28 elements in 19 groups with a 7-blade iris for smooth bokeh.

Integrated ingenuity accelerates demanding shots. The waterproof front section and dimmable USB-powered LED array bathe subjects in even light above or below the waterline, eliminating bulky housings. A front ¼-20 thread anchors micro-lights; the orientation collar grants 360 ° rotation so operators can spin the horizon mid-take.

Every control suits production workflows. Cinema 0.8 MOD gears on focus and iris mesh with remote FIZ; a 270 ° focus throw enables repeatable pulls, and T14–T40 aperture management maintains depth while minimising breathing.

The native ARRI PL mount covers full-frame and Super 35 sensors up to 8 K capture yet the lens weighs only 770 g. Delivered with probe heads, dimmer and case, PeriProbe excels in commercials, wildlife inserts, scientific imaging or motion-control shots where conventional glass cannot fit. For creators seeking bug-eye perspective, seamless macro-to-infinity travel and angles unattainable with traditional optics, this specialist lens unlocks new narrative vocabularies without compromising optical integrity. Internal focusing keeps the tip static, guarding subjects, while low-distortion glass holds straight lines. Multi-layer coatings raise micro-contrast and tame flare. Dual-side engravings aid crew, and the sealed barrel withstands dust and submersion in wet sets.
