Laowa 24mm T14 2X Peri Probe Lens (Cine) – Leica L: A Comprehensive Review

The Laowa 24mm T14 2X Peri Probe Lens is a distinguished member of the esteemed Laowa family, further equipped with a periscope tube for enhanced macro photography creativity. This impressive addition allows photographers to adapt the periscope angle between 90 and 0 and have a complete 360 axial rotation. Thus, it provides a convenient solution for capturing high or low objects from a unique periscope perspective.

Delivering an impressive 85 field of view, the lens also benefits from a short focus distance of just two centimeters. Consequently, an exclusive ‘bug-eye’ perspective, coupled with a 2x zoom, permits capturing subjects of various sizes in stunning detail. Moreover, it is equipped with a coupling mechanism, serving the key purpose of releasing the orientation ring for perspective adjustment and diverse motion tracking.

Main Features of Laowa 24mm T14 2X Peri Probe Lens (Cine) – Leica L

• A unique macro lens provides an insect-perspective of the world
• Periscope with a view angle of 90 to 0
• 360 axial rotation
• Easy switch between perspectives
• Lens shape resembling a long ‘barrel’
• Waterproof tube at the front
• Compatible with full-frame (with Focal Reducer for APS-C and Micro Four Thirds)
• Deep depth of field
• Attachment points for accessories

The lens offers a broader perspective than most tele-macro lenses. It has an aperture range beginning from T14 extending to T40, facilitating a greater depth field even at close range. Moreover, this Peri Probe lens is specially designed for full-frame cameras, while APS-C and Micro Four Thirds camera users can also make use of it utilizing the optional Laowa 0.7x focal reducer. By reducing the crop factor of the APS-C and M43 sensors, the lens perspective is preserved while boosting aperture to f/10.

Resembling the Probe lens, the Peri Probe lens is both dust and waterproof. This feature enables close-up photography in puddles, small lakes, and sandy areas. Additionally, the end of the tube integrates a threaded interface for attaching accessories such as lights or a stabilisation attachment point.

Furthermore, its excellent image quality is maintained by a variety of lens elements including an extra-low dispersion and an extra refractive index element. Consequently, aberration is kept to a minimum, resulting in bright, sharp images that are true-to-life in colour.
