Additional information:
- 2X Magnification: The Periprobe’s key feature is its extreme close-range focusing capabilities, allowing photographers to penetrate into the world of tiny subjects and capture tiny details that are usually difficult to observe. This is very useful for scientific research and documenting microscopic ecosystems.
- 90° probe design: Periprobe’s probe design allows it to enter narrow and hard-to-reach spaces, such as inside flower buds, cracks, pipes, etc., thus providing more shooting angles and possibilities. Based on the unique design of 25cm waterproof front end, you can record the "water world" with confidence.
- Creative Photography: This lens is not only suitable for scientific and documentary photography, it can also be used for creative photography. Photographers can create artistic photos with their unique designs that highlight the form and texture of tiny subjects.
- Video Production: Periprobe lenses are also suitable for microscopic video production, especially in scenes where dynamic changes in the microscopic world need to be captured. Its F13 aperture also makes it perform better in low-light conditions.
- Advertising and Commercial Photography: For advertising and commercial photography that need to show the tiny details of the product, Periprobe's design provides a unique way of shooting to make the product look more attractive.
