Laowa Probe Zoom 15-24mm T8 Macro Lens (35° View) PL

Laowa Probe Zoom 15-24 mm T8 Macro Lens (35 °) PL pushes full-frame cinematography into crevices that once remained off-limits. The slender 25 mm tube delivers a 110.5 ° sweep at 15 mm then slips parfocal to 24 mm, perspective tightening while critical focus holds. A constant T8 transmission with a 9-blade iris shapes smooth highlights, and 37 elements in 26 groups arrest lateral colour and field curvature.

Working distance shrinks to 5 mm—only 0.2 in—yielding 1.6 × life-size without vignetting across the 43.2 mm image circle. Focus rotation spans 90 °, and every control ring carries standard 0.8 MOD gears for seamless remote FIZ. The 35-degree front module offsets the optical axis, letting crews skim surfaces or tunnel under subjects while the camera body stays level.

A 539 mm waterproof barrel tolerates submersion, dust, and food splatter; its 360 ° rotating nose unlocks Dutch perspectives inside machinery or glassware. Mass is limited to 1.4 kg, ideal for sliders, gimbals, and lightweight robotics. Dual metric/imperial scales accelerate on-set collaboration, and the native ARRI PL mount converts to EF, RF, E, Z, or L via optional shims.

Front diameter 68.8 mm accepts clamp-on accessories, while the iris closes to T32 for razor-thin depth on tabletop sets. Internal focusing prevents barrel extension; low-dispersion glass plus multi-coating preserve contrast under mixed LED or HMI, and negligible breathing keeps focus pulls invisible. With full-frame probe macro, parfocal 1.6 × zoom, waterproof 53.9 cm tube, and 35 ° angled view, directors gain signature moves—from travelling reveals through gears to dives into espresso—all ready for 8 K HDR delivery.
