Laowa Probe Zoom 15-24mm T8 Lens (35 Degree) - Arri PL

Laowa Probe Zoom 15-24mm T8 (35 degrees) - Arri PL

The Laowa Probe Zoom is a lens with a long, thin tube, with which you film in places a regular lens can't reach. The Probe Zoom comes in two versions: a 15-35mm T12, which focuses on a larger zoom range, and this 15-24mm T8, which is faster. Both lenses are parfocal, so the image stays sharp when you zoom. The tubes are waterproof up to the marking, so you can partly submerge them in liquid.

The Probe Zoom comes in four configurations: Direct View (the classic straight tube), 90 degrees (a right-angle lens with which you film around the corner), 35 degrees (a middle ground between Direct View and 90 degrees, for filming at an angle) and Periscope (which films parallel to the camera). This is the 35-degree version. The lens has an optical construction of 37 elements in 26 groups, an aperture with 9 blades that closes from T8 to T32, and an angle of view of 84.1° to 110.5° on a full-frame sensor.

The lens has manual focus and a follow focus pitch of 0.8 mod. The Probe Zoom has an Arri PL mount as standard. With optional, interchangeable mounts (available separately), you convert it to Canon EF and RF, Nikon Z, Sony FE or L-mount. The lens is available separately, but also in a lens kit with all 4 tubes and the 15-24mm T8 and 15-35mm T12 zoom modules.
