The Venus Optics 0.7x mount adapter for the Laowa Probe PL-Micro 4/3 lens allows easy installation of Probe and Periprobe lenses with the Arri PL bayonet on cameras and camcorders with a Micro 4/3 socket. It allows a 1 T-Stop increase in brightness, as well as a reduced focal length multiplier (“crop factor”) when connecting a full-frame lens to a camera with a smaller sensor (Super35, APS-C or Micro 4/3).

Main product features

• adapter that allows a full-frame Probe lens with Arri PL bayonet to be mounted on a camera equipped with a Micro 4/3 bayonet

• Allows you to connect a full-frame lens to a camera with a smaller sensor

• increase brightness by 1 T-Stop (from T14 to T10)

• changing the focal length x 0.7 to reduce the focal length multiplier (“crop factor”)

• thanks to the adapter, the focal length of the Probe lens is reduced from 24 mm to 17 mm (when working with a Super35 or APS-C sensor, the full-frame equivalent is approx. 25 mm, and for Micro 4/3 it is approx. 33 mm)

• lightweight and robust construction made of aluminium and plastic

• the device does not require any power supply

Even more possibilities

Do you own a Probe or Periprobe lens equipped with an Arri PL bayonet and would like to use it in conjunction with a camera or camcorder with a Micro 4/3 socket? Now it is possible! All you need to do is get it between your devices – the Venus Optics 0.7x mount adapter for the Laowa Probe PL-Micro 4/3!

Change field-of-view

The focal length multiplier offered by the adapter is 0.7. This means that the focal length of the full-frame Probe lens changes from 24 mm to 17 mm. If you are using a device with a Super 35 or APS-C sensor, the full-frame equivalent will be around 25 mm. For Micro 4/3 sensors, it will be approximately 33 mm. This is an uncompromising solution that will certainly benefit your frames!

Increased brightness

The Venus Optics 0.7x to Laowa Probe PL-Micro 4/3 mount adapter is not just an “adapter” to connect lenses and cameras offering different mounting standards. The device will allow you to “open wider” the aperture, thus providing more brightness. You gain 1 extra T-stop!
