Direct View Lens

Capture unique close-up views with your PL-mount cine camera and the LAOWA 24mm T8 Full Frame 2x Pro2be Lens from Venus Optics. This straight, direct-view lens is one in a series that also includes 90° periscope and 35° versions. It covers up to full-frame camera sensors, is waterproof down to 14.4", focuses to just 0.2", and features a relatively fast T8 maximum aperture and a 2x magnification ratio.

Interchangeable Lens Mount

This PL-mount lens has an interchangeable design enabling it to be used with separately available mounts.
Options include Canon EF, Canon RF, Leica L, Nikon F, Nikon Z, and Sony E mounts.

Applications

Capture sharp magnified shots at ground, tabletop, or overhead level while your camera remains in a comfortable operating position.
Create dynamic traveling shots through products, models, or natural components.
Use for creative motion control shots.

Extreme 2x Close-Ups

A 2x magnification ratio and a minimum focus of just 0.2" enable you to capture extreme close-ups.

Impressive Image Quality

The Pro2be incorporates four HR (high refractive) and nine ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements that help to produce accurate color rendition and optimal sharpness.

T8 to T40 Aperture Range

The maximum aperture is a relatively fast T8, enabling you to shoot in limited light.

Longer Lens Barrel

This 20" probe lens is 3.9" longer than earlier models, increasing the positioning options.

Waterproof Design

The Pro2be is submersible to 14.4", providing greater flexibility for underwater capture.
