Laowa Probe Zoom 15-24mm T8 Lens - Direct View - Arri PL

The lens is designed for extreme close-ups and offers a very short minimum focusing distance, allowing for up to 1.6x magnification.

This lens features an Arri PL mount and is intended for cinema cameras with that specific mount. Adapters may exist for some mirrorless systems, but compatibility and performance should be thoroughly researched.

The waterproof barrel allows you to shoot in wet environments, such as rain or underwater, without risking damage to the lens, opening up unique creative possibilities.

A parfocal lens maintains focus throughout the zoom range. This means that as you zoom in or out, the image stays sharp, allowing for controlled changes in perspective without needing to refocus.

Yes, the 1.6x zoom range is available even at its closest focusing distances, providing flexibility for framing macro subjects.

It's ideal for filmmakers and videographers who need to capture extreme close-ups with context, such as in documentaries, product showcases, or for visual effects.

Typically, cinema lenses come with front and rear caps for protection during storage and transport. Please refer to the product packaging for included accessories.

Ensure the lens is properly seated on the camera mount and that the parfocal mechanism is engaged correctly. Re-check focus manually.

Check for any debris around the zoom ring. If the issue persists, contact Laowa support for professional inspection.

Verify that you are within the lens's working distance for macro. Clean the lens elements carefully with a microfiber cloth. Ensure the lens is compatible with your camera's sensor size.

Immediately rinse the exterior with fresh water if exposed to saltwater or chemicals. Dry the lens thoroughly with a soft cloth. If internal fogging occurs, allow the lens to air dry in a warm, dry environment or contact support.
