Laowa 24mm T14 2x Macro PeriProbe – Canon EF

The 24mm T14 2x PeriProbe not only inherits all the great features from the 24mm T14 2x Probe lens, but a new tube with periscope is now also included. The new 90° Periscope tip unlocks countless new exciting movements. The 85° angle of view and a very close 2cm working distance help created the bug-eye perspective. The 2x magnification allows you to capture subjects of different sizes with details. Users can poke the long and waterproof barrel into a tight space and underwater to obtain a unique perspective. The LED Ring Lite provides an extra light source. The lens can rotate 360° along the axis by unlocking the orientation ring. The lens could rotate 360° along the axis by unlocking the orientation ring. Additional accessories can also be mounted at the tip of the lens through the 1/4” screw hole.

Laowa 24mm T14 2x Periprobe is dedicatedly designed for Full Frame sensors. It has all the features from the Laowa 24mm f/14 2x Probe and adds a whole new periscope characteristic. The lens gives you a new perspective and improves flexibility in terms of setups and camera operation.

Reach the unreachable

Users can hold the camera up or down to create a periscope perspective. It is useful when you shoot something unreachable like a hole in a tree that’s 7’ high, or a crab hiding in an underwater cave. It also makes your set-ups easier since you do not need waterproof housing for this shot.

Travel through tight spaces

It is nearly impossible to travel between objects that are close to each other unless you make a complicated mechanism with programs to move the objects back and forward to prevent them from colliding. It can be very time-consuming for videographers to have this pre-shoot preparation. With Periprobe, you could simply travel through the tight space by rigging the cameras on sliders and tripods.

Look up

With 2x magnification, 85° wide angle of view and close working distance, users could create special close-up face-up and face-down shots that other lenses cannot do.

Shoot without constraints

It is difficult for photographers to film close to the ground as there are always restrictions in set-ups, like the cameras and the lens itself can be always obstacles. Some users might dig a hole in the ground for the cameras or use a more complicated pre-shoot set-up. With Periprobe, you could simply touch the lens tip on the ground from above.

Bug-eye perspective

The 24mm T14 2x Periprobe has a wider perspective than other macro lenses which means more background information can be captured. The lens is able to focus really close to the subjects i.e. working distance = 0.8”/2cm at 2x magnification. It makes everything bigger than life size with great details to create a stunning ‘bug-eye perspective’.

2x magnification

With 2x magnification, users have greater flexibility to shoot subjects of different sizes. More textures and details can be captured with higher magnification.

Deep depth of field

The Periprobe has a wider perspective than other telephoto macro lenses and the aperture range starts from T14 to T40; therefore, it would have a greater depth of field at close distances. It is beneficial when shooting wildlife and in a studio as more information of the background can be included.

Waterproof front barrel

The front end of the barrel of the Periprobe is waterproof so users can make underwater shots without a housing to get unique shots that other lenses cannot capture. Users can also make use of this feature to create a first-person view like pouring liquid on the lens.

NB: Not designed for cropped sensors.
