Laowa Probe Zoom 4-Lens Bundle 15-24mm T8 Lens Arri PL

Laowa Probe Zoom 4-Lens Bundle 15-24mm T8 Lens Arri PL Summary

The Laowa Probe Zoom 4-Lens Bundle 15-24mm T8 Lens Arri PL is a full frame macro cine zoom kit which includes four viewing modules and a dedicated transport case. It is based on the 15-24mm T8 Probe Zoom and expands the system with Direct View, 35°, 90° and Periscope modules in one package.

This bundle suits cinematographers who require maximum perspective flexibility from a single probe zoom lens. The 15-24mm T8 optical design delivers a 1.6x zoom range, constant T8 transmission and extreme close working capability, while the interchangeable modules alter the shooting axis without changing the lens body itself. It supports different angles and otherwise impossible shots for studio, tabletop, commercial and environmental macro production where reconfiguration fr different shots is required.

Laowa Probe Zoom 4-Lens Bundle 15-24mm T8 Lens Arri PL in More Detail

Ultra-wide macro perspective

At 15mm, the lens reaches a 110.5° angle of view on full frame, providing an expansive field while operating at close distance from the subject. The zoom range extends to 24mm, narrowing the field to 84.1° while retaining macro capability. This range supports exaggerated foreground scale and strong spatial depth when working near the minimum focusing distance.

Close working distance and magnification

A minimum working distance of 5mm enables the front section to approach extremely small subjects. Maximum magnification reaches 1.6x across the zoom range, allowing frame-filling detail on textures, surfaces and miniature elements. The extended tubular construction separates the operator from the focal plane, supporting controlled lighting and access in confined spaces.

Parfocal zoom control

The lens maintains focus throughout the 1.6x zoom span, allowing focal length adjustments without re-pulling focus. This supports controlled crash zooms and perspective shifts within macro environments. Manual focus is fully mechanical, with 0.8 MOD gearing compatible with follow focus systems and cine motors.

Four-module system

The Direct module provides a straight optical path for conventional forward framing. The 35° module introduces a mild angled perspective, while the 90° module redirects the optical axis at a right angle for ground-level or lateral compositions. The Periscope module enables overhead or inverted shooting angles. Each module modifies the viewing direction while maintaining the same optical performance and focal range.

Cine housing and PL integration

The ARRI PL mount housing includes back focus adjustment for precise flange calibration. The housing diameter measures 68.8mm and weight is approximately 1400g depending on module configuration. Standardised cine gearing and mechanical construction support integration into professional PL mount workflows.
