SShep Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Not one of my photos, just something I saw in The Guardian the other day - but does anyone know what this guy has on the front of his camera? Looks like a torch to me! Not important, just curious. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDoug Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I think it's something from Laowa / Venus: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Very cool lens! I was just watching a nature program and was wondering what they used to get some those types of shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ramsay Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I was just about to post exactly the same question - an interesting piece of kit Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Bunce Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Very interesting I will have to checkout their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Kyhn Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Interesting. Are there any other companies that make lenses like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsphinx Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Just checked their website - and I am impressed. Obviously, they do more than just that long probe but what surprised me was they do stuff (including the probe) for many different cameras. I thought they might just do Canon fit - or possibly Canon and Nikon - but they cover other brands as well. Also, the prices do not seem horrendous - certainly not cheap but not as much as might be imagined. Now back to the lottery numbers..........

They're not particularly rare, but they are at Laowa's price. https://www.adorama.com/us 1103082.html http://www.visualproducts.com/storeProductDetail02.asp?productID=1092&Cat=3&Cat2=49 We had one when I worked at a weapons range for photographing gun barrel damage, with a 45 degree mirror. It probably cost as much as a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
