Laowa 24mm PeriProbe

Zoom - Spherical - Full Frame

product details

The Laowa 24mm T14–40 PeriProbe is a specialty probe lens designed for unique close-up and immersive shots, and one of the most unusual and innovative lenses in modern cinema. A long, slender barrel allows the camera to move into tight or unusual spaces, slide through confined settings or immerse viewers in miniature environments – capturing perspectives impossible with traditional optics. It is a favorite for commercials, macro nature work, and stylized inserts. Available for rental or subrental at Cine Visuals.

Handling & Adaptability

The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
