PL-Mount Probe Lenses. The Venus Optics Laowa 24mm T8 Pro2be Probe 3-Lens Set (PL) includes the Venus Optics Laowa 24mm T8 Pro2be 35° Probe, Venus Optics Laowa 24mm T8 Pro2be 90° Periscope Probe, and Venus Optics Laowa 24mm T8 Pro2be Direct View Probe, which are three fast-aperture close-up probe lenses designed for use on PL-mount cameras. Each lens in this kit covers up to full-frame image sensors.
They Could Be Your Angles. These lenses’ respective 35°, 90° periscope, and direct views let you capture sharp, magnified ground-, table-, or overhead-level shots while operating the camera from a comfortable position.
Wide-Angle Macro Primes. Each lens in this kit has a 2x magnification ratio and 0.2-inch minimum focusing distance that lets you shoot extreme close-ups with total clarity. Their wide-angle focal lengths provide greater depth of field than standard telephoto macros for less subject isolation and more background detail, and their reasonably fast T8 maximum apertures let you work in low light.
Maximum Maneuverability. The Venus 24mm Pro2bes were designed for maneuverability and reach. Their extended, adjustable barrels are long and narrow enough to move through tight spaces and lightweight enough to easily and comfortably be positioned at any angle you choose. The 35° and 90° lenses can rotate 360° at the lens mount for on-axis spinning shots, and all three lenses are waterproof down to 14.4 inches. They’re ideal for dynamic traveling shots through products, models, and the like, and they can capture underwater shots without worry, so you definitely won’t be wanting for creative shooting options.
Exceptional Sharpness and Color Rendition. These lenses’s rectilinear optical designs incorporate 4 High Refractive Index elements and 9 Extra-Low Dispersion elements to keep your images sharp and their color rendition accurate while combating diffraction, distortion, and aberrations.
Fully Manual Lenses. These are fully manual lenses that provide no electronic communication with the camera. You must manually make all aperture and focus adjustments on the lenses themselves, and lens information is not transferred through EXIF data. Each lens has a dedicated switch that lets you quickly de-click their manual aperture rings for smooth, quiet rotation that’s great for video.
