The Martini Shot
“The Martini Shot.”
“The next shot is in the Glass.”
But tabletop takes time. Art directors agonize over the perfect olive. Food stylists slice the perfect lemon. Property maestros coax bubbles.
Fortunately, the new Laowa Probe Zoom 15-35mm T12-T40 is waterproof and effortlessly takes you underwater or into a Martini glass, stirred not shaken, up to 2x Macro. For scarier underwater setups on nature documentaries, the Probe Zoom’s 13.75-inch waterproof barrel keeps you safely away from fangs that bite.

Laowa Probe Zoom 15-35mm T12 – T40
Laowa’s latest Full Frame Probe Zoom turns the tables on tabletop work.
There are two versions: Laowa Probe Zoom Macro Lens: 15-35mm T12-T40 and 15-24mm T8-T32. They have interchangeable mounts: PL, E, L, Z, RF and EF. And there are four configurations: Direct View (straight tube); 35-Degree View; 90-Degree View; and Periscope.
With the simple turn of the M0.8 geared zoom barrel, we zoom in on the Ikura, going from 15mm (110.5° angle of view in the framegrab at the top of this story) to 35mm. For reference, each briny salmon roe egg is about 5mm in diameter. The lens is parfocal — it maintains focus as you zoom in. read more…
