Back in the day we used use the Frazier lens system -- which was cumbersome and challenging to use. The Laowa is tack sharp, albeit slow at an f/14, light and easy to use.

Can the original probe lens be rotated as well? If I wanted to do a spinning/rotating shot with that as well.
Asked by: Stiven
The rotation of the Venus Optics LAOWA 24mm T14-40 Full Frame 2x PeriProbe Cine Lens refers to being able to rotate the lens barrel so the markings can be read. It does not rotate the image. To do that, you need to rotate the camera.

What's the difference between this one vs the 24mm f/14 probe lens?
Asked by: Oscar
The Venus Optics LAOWA 24mm T14-40 Full Frame 2x PeriProbe Cine Lens (E Mount) (B&H# VE2414PFE) features the addition of a 90 degree angle adapter at the end of the barrel so that you can take videos and photos at an angle that is perpendicular to the lens. This is especially helpful when taking underwater photos from a camera just above the surface.

This lens comes with both 0 and 90 degree attachme

This lens comes with both 0 and 90 degree attachments yes? So buying the other 0 degree probe lens would only be suitable if you wanted the 14mm focal length yes? Is there a difference in sharpness/quality between these two lenses?
Asked by: Claudia
The Venus Optics LAOWA 24mm T14-40 Full Frame 2x PeriProbe Cine Lens (RF Mount) includes both the 0 degree direct view module and the 90 degree periscope module, and both modules use the same 24mm T14 optical system, so there is no difference in focal length or the core lens quality, but the 90 degree module provides the perpendicular viewing perspective while the direct view module provides the standard probe perspective.
