The Venus Optics LAOWA 24mm T14-40 Full Frame 2x PeriProbe Cine Lens captures sharp magnified shots with full frame camera sensors using their Canon EF-mount and has a focal length of 24mm. Its periscope-style lens tube with interchangeable ends features an aperture range of T14 to T40 for a deep or shallow depth of field. Use it underwater or in tight spaces, thanks to its waterproof front barrel and slim profile.

A lens construction of 28 elements in 19 groups creates a smooth, circular bokeh with minimal focus breathing. The lens can rotate 360° along the axis to unlock the orientation ring and create spinning shots. Both the focus and iris rings have 0.8 MOD cinema-standard gears for intuitive manual controls. A 1/4"-20 thread at the end of the 15.7" lens allows you to mount fill lights or other accessories. Built-in LEDs in the lens tips provide a ring-light effect to your shots.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I have a Canon Rebel T7I. which has a APS-C Size ccd. I asssume this will make the lens 38mm?

A: Yes, that is correct. As the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T7i DSLR camera has a 1.6x APS-C cropped sensor, when comparing your lens' equivalent angle of view to that of a lens used on a full-frame sensor camera, all lenses must have their focal length multiplied by 1.6x to find the full frame equivalent. As such, as the Venus Optics Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens has a 24mm focal length, it would be the equivalent of a 38.4mm lens (as 24mm x 1.6 = 38mm).

Q: 2. Can the original probe lens attachment also rotatable in this? If I wanted to do a rotating/spinning shot.

A: The Venus Optics LAOWA 24mm T14-40 Full Frame 2x PeriProbe Cine Lens (EF Mount) (B&H# VE2414PEF) includes both the periscope end and regular end of the lens. Pulling back or pushing forward on a lens collar allows them to be rotated.

Q: 3. I see this lens (for Canon EF anyway) measures its aperture in T-stops. Is there a version that measures in F-stops?

A: No, there is no current version of Venus Optics LAOWA 24mm T14-40 Full Frame 2x PeriProbe Cine Lens (EF Mount) manufactured in F-stops. The older non cine option can be considered for F-stop.

Q: 7. I intend to use this lens on a Canon C100MK2 with a super 35mm sensor, but would like to take advantage of the full 24mm field of view for wide angles. What adaptor do I need to avoid to the crop factor? Is that possible?

A: The C100 Mark II has an EF mount and this is an EF mount lens. There is no EF to EF adapter. When you use this lens on the C100 Mark II it will be subject to the 1.5x crop factor.

Q: 8. Will this fit on a Sony a7RV or do I need a mount and if so which mount?

A: The cable for powering the LED's and the other end goes into a battery brick.

Q: 10. I am curious if anyone has tried this lens on a Fuji X-T3 or X-T4. I imagine the thing to do in that case is get this Canon EF version and an EF-X adapter if the person (like me) does not already have one. Does that sound like it would work?

A: This lens is fully manual and can work with any simple adapter on the Fujifilm camera. If looking at the EF mount version of the lens, the Vello Canon EF/EF-S Lens to Fujifilm X-Mount Camera Lens Adapter linked here would work well. https://bhpho.to/3d0WUZp. Once adapted, this lens will work very well on your camera in Manual mode.
