Laowa has announced the official release of the Laowa 15–24mm T8 and 15–35mm T12 Macro Probe Zoom lenses which are said to be the widest probe zooms with the largest focal length ranges on the market. The new Laowa Probe Zoom lenses are available in two versions designed to serve various creative needs: the faster 15-24mm T8 for superior low-light performance and maximum speed, and the extended-range 15-35mm T12 for even greater zoom flexibility. Both deliver an ultra-wide 110.5° angle of view at the wide end and up to 2.3x zoom, enabling dramatic shifts in magnification and perspective. Their waterproof tubular design extends deep to reach hard to access subjects.

The 2.3x magnification allows filmmakers to capture fine details with remarkable clarity, making every shot more impactful. Combined with a short 5mm working distance, the lens can focus extremely close to the subject, enabling dramatic close-ups in tight or confined spaces. This is ideal for capturing textures, small objects, or subtle actions that a standard lens might miss.

For filmmakers working with Super 35 cameras, the Laowa Probe Zoom lenses pair seamlessly with the specially designed Laowa 0.7x Focal Reducer. This accessory expands the effective focal length range while delivering a full one-stop brightness increase. The new combo will now become a 11–17mm T5.6, and 11–25mm T8.4 while preserving the signature ultra-wide perspective, immersive field of view, and dramatic zoom capabilities at the heart of these innovative probe zooms. Multiple mounts available with ARRI PL mount as the default and optional Canon EF / Canon RF / Nikon Z / Sony E / L mount bayonets available for purchase.
