Laowa Probe Zoom 15-35mm T12 Macro Lens (Direct View) PL

Laowa Probe Zoom 15-35 mm T12 Macro Lens – Direct View PL unlocks dynamic storytelling for tabletop, nature, food and product cinematography. Its probe barrel covers full-frame sensors (Ø43.2 mm) while holding a 15-35 mm focal span at constant T12. The 2.3 × zoom range sweeps from an immersive 110.5° ultra-wide angle to a tighter 63.4° view, letting crews push from context to detail in a single move. A minimum working distance of 5 mm and up to 2.3 × magnification reveal micro-textures without shadowing, even inside glassware or between circuit boards.

Precision optical engineering – 37 elements in 26 groups – keeps high MTF along the tube’s 545 mm length. The nine-blade iris produces round bokeh, and internal focusing eliminates breathing. A stainless front barrel (Ø32 mm) is water-proof for 36 cm, enabling submerged shots in aquariums or viscous sauces and rapid clean-downs between takes.

Built for professional rigs, the lens integrates 0.8 MOD gear rings on focus (90°), zoom (100°) and iris (27.5°); each ring is evenly damped for repeatable motor-driven moves. The Direct View 0° module keeps the optical path straight, avoiding parallax when skimming tabletops. Interchangeable fronts (35°, 90°, periscope) can be fitted later, widening creative options without re-rigging.

At 1.4 kg, the probe balances on sliders, robots or PTZ heads. The ARRI PL mount ships shim-tuned; optional EF, RF, E, L and Z kits protect rental workflows. Deliver brilliant macro journeys for 8K pipelines, graphics plates or broadcasts with this versatile tool. Capture unseen textures, depths and transitions in one smooth move.
