Venus Optics LAOWA 24mm T14 2x PeriProbe Cine Lens (E Mount)
The 24mm T14 2x Macro PeriProbe lens elevates the probe lens concept, offering users the ability to explore a multitude of possibilities and shoot in a more convenient way. This lens maintains all the features of its predecessor, including an 85-degree Angle of View (AoV) with a periscope and an impressively close working distance, providing a unique bug-eye perspective.
With its 2x magnification, this lens captures subjects of varying sizes in exquisite detail. The long, waterproof barrel can be inserted into tight spaces or underwater, offering a unique perspective that sets your shots apart. An integrated LED Ring Light provides an additional light source when needed.
The lens also offers the flexibility to switch from a 90-degree periscope to a 0-degree straight scope. A clutch mechanism allows for a 360-degree rotation along the axis by unlocking the orientation ring. The threaded tip of the lens (1/4 20) allows for the attachment of additional accessories, enhancing its versatility.
The Laowa 24mm T14 2x Macro PeriProbe lens is designed to focus extremely close to the subject, as close as 2cm/0.8" at 2x magnification, while maintaining a wider perspective of 85 degrees compared to other macro lenses. This creates a unique 'Bug-eye perspective'.
With its deep depth of field, starting from T14 to T40, the PeriProbe lens offers a greater depth of field at close distances, which is beneficial when shooting wildlife or in a studio setting as it allows for more background detail to be included.
The lens's long and tubular barrel, measuring 40cm/15.7", allows for access to tight spaces such as tree holes or Lego houses, while also enabling the photographer to maintain a safe distance from the subject. The front barrel of the PeriProbe is waterproof, allowing for underwater shots without the need for additional housing.
In summary, the Laowa 24mm T14 2x Macro PeriProbe Cine Lens for Sony FE is a versatile, durable, and innovative lens that offers a unique perspective and high-quality results for a wide range of photography applications.
