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

Laowa Probe Zoom 15-24 mm T8 Macro Lens – Direct View, PL Mount brings unprecedented reach into confined sets. A slender 68.8 mm-diameter, 545 mm tube slips between objects while the optical relay provides full-frame coverage and a sweeping 110.5°-84.1° field of view. Parfocal mechanics hold focus while gliding from 15 mm ultra-wide to 24 mm wide-angle, and the consistent T8-T32 iris with 9 blades shapes circular highlights even at 1 : 1 magnification.

Industry-standard 0.8 MOD focus and zoom gears drive a precise 90° throw, ready for remote FIZ. The probe’s sealed front window and waterproof barrel tolerate splashes, sand or flour storms, turning tabletop food or industrial macros into carefree moves. Minimum working distance is an astonishing 5 mm (0.20 in), yielding 1×-1.6× reproduction that reveals textures invisible to conventional cine zooms. Despite its reach, weight stops at 1.4 kg, manageable on gimbals or motion-control rigs.

The Direct View module gives a forward perspective while a 360° rotation collar lets operators reposition the horizon without moving the camera. A 32 mm front element threads through bottle necks, engine fins or insect burrows, and treatment suppresses flare. Optical performance stays sharp across the zoom, with minimal focus breathing and smooth axial color, ensuring plates align perfectly in VFX composites.

For product cinematography, broadcast inserts, live cooking streams or science docs, this 15-24 mm macro probe cine zoom produces shots clients have never seen but instantly recognise. Capture immersive passes, dramatic push-ins or reverse pull-outs that start macro and end wide in one take.
