The Laowa 24mm T14 2X Periprobe (Cine) for Canon RF gives filmmakers and photographers a distinctive tool for capturing angles and close-ups that are otherwise difficult or impossible to reach. With its periscope-style front module and 2:1 magnification, the lens helps you create immersive macro and product shots, dynamic rotations, and footage through tight spaces.
The Periprobe features an interchangeable 90° periscope front module and a straight front module. Therefore, you can switch between direct forward views and perpendicular viewing angles. As a result, you gain flexibility when filming inside confined spaces or when you need unique perspectives without repositioning the camera body.
Because the lens supports full 360° rotation, you can execute smooth rotational movements to produce striking visual effects. Consequently, this lens suits commercial filmmaking, product photography, macro videography, and other creative projects that demand unconventional framing and motion.
The lens delivers a true 2:1 magnification ratio, capturing subjects at twice life-size. This makes it effective for detailed macro work where close-up detail and scale matter. In addition, Laowa’s advanced optical construction uses 28 elements in 19 groups to maintain sharpness, clarity, and accurate color reproduction across the image.
The Periprobe’s front barrel is waterproof, so you can use it in wet, dusty, or otherwise challenging conditions. Moreover, the lens includes integrated LED lights. These LEDs illuminate subjects in confined or dark spaces, improving exposure and reducing the need for external light sources when working close to the subject.
Laowa built this lens with a professional cinema focus and aperture gear configuration. As a result, the geared focus and aperture rings are compatible with standard cinema accessories and follow focus systems. Therefore, you can achieve smooth, precise control over focus pulls and aperture adjustments during a shoot.

Question: Can I film inside tight or awkward spaces with this lens?
Answer: Yes. The Periprobe’s periscope-style front module and interchangeable 90° and straight modules let you reach into confined or awkward spaces while keeping the camera body separate. The integrated LEDs further help by lighting subjects where external lights cannot easily fit.
Question: Is this lens suitable for macro cinematography and detailed product shots?
Answer: Absolutely. With a 2:1 magnification ratio, the lens captures subjects at twice life-size, making it well suited for macro cinematography and product work that requires high magnification and close-up detail. The optical design supports sharpness and accurate color rendering for these applications.
Question: What accessories and items come with the lens, and how do they support on-set use?
Answer: The package includes both the 90° periscope and straight front modules, front and rear caps, a USB cable for LED power, and a lens case. These items let you switch configurations quickly, protect the optics, and power the built-in LEDs for immediate use in low-light or confined environments.
