Announcing a remarkable innovation, AstrHori advances its renowned 28mm f/13 Periprobe Macro Lens with an innovative feature, a 360° rotating base. Launched last year as a worthy competitor to the popular Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe Lens, the AstrHori 28mm f/13 Periprobe Macro Lens now offers enhanced flexibility in its price range.
Evolving with 360° Rotational Elegance
This fresh update primarily focuses on one major enhancement, the rotating base. Facilitating a complete 360° of rotation, it empowers photographers to attain desired angles while comfortably maintaining their camera positioning.
Convenience for Creatives
Given the challenge of obtaining accurate angles often leads to adjusting camera positions extensively, this can curtail the use of tripods for specific shots. Addressing this, the updated lens significantly simplifies the process through its rotational capability.
Incorporating the 2x magnification, 0.8 MOD gears designed for follow focus units or remote-controlled focus motors, and a waterproof coating for the first 20cm of the lens, the AstrHori 28mm f/13 offers unique possibilities for underwater shots.

The improved version of this rectilinear shift lens contains
- a focal length of 28mm

the lens aligns perfectly with a range of mounts including Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, Leica L, and Fuji X.
Additionally, it contains 7 aperture blades and a minimum focus distance of 8mm. The lens measures 30 x 470mm and weighs 760g.
