A new Probe - Exploring and testing the LAOWA Pro2be lenses with cinematic experiments

Laowa puts the “Pro“ in Probe, with a set of three 24mm Probe lenses. T8 speed, a longer reach, a shorter working distance, and an overall improved image quality, make the Pro2be a desirable tool for macro photography, SFX, and tabletop work. A team from The Marmalade and the Media Division will conduct a test with a series of cinematic experiments that expose the possibilities and the quality of these lenses – as well as giving you some interesting background information and education in filmmaking – just to stir your creative juices and to make this as fun as as possible. We are going to create a mini to macro shot, explore a technique called “dry for wet” for a mysterious underwater shot, and wild fluid dynamics in a tank. What do the Laowa Pro2be lenses bring to the table and how much does it mitigate the original Probes achilles heel… that is, the hunger for light.
