Laowa 15-24mm T8 & 15-35mm T12 Macro Probe Zoom Lenses Now Official

Venus Optics has made a notable move in the specialty lens market by officially launching two macro probe zoom lenses — the Laowa 15-24mm T8 and 15-35mm T12 — which are now open for pre-order. Probe lenses have long been a niche tool favored by commercial, nature, and creative photographers for their ability to get impossibly close to subjects while maintaining a wide environmental perspective, but zoom capability in this format is a significant engineering achievement. These full-frame compatible lenses open up new storytelling possibilities for videographers and photographers working in advertising, food, nature, and experimental cinematography, making this a meaningful product launch worth attention from shooters looking to push creative boundaries.
