Expanded Laowa 24mm T14 2X Periprobe Lens for Nikon Z-Mount Key Features:

A Whole New Perspective

The Laowa 24mm T14 2x Periprobe Lens provides so many exciting opportunities for all kinds of creators. With an 85-degree angle of view, this lens is a step ahead of other competing macro lenses, offering a much wider ‘bug-eye’ perspective that is able to focus on a subject only 20mm away with 2x magnification. This level of magnification is perfect for capturing all the finer details of much smaller subjects and is a stark improvement on the 60mm to 120mm focal length commonly found with competing macro lenses.

Whether you’re working with unpredictable insects or the latest release from a popular fast-food chain, the Laowa 24mm T14 2x Periprobe lens is also capable of illuminating multiple macro environments with its indispensable LED Ring Lite. Positioned around the face of the lens, this ring light is perfect for tackling both controlled environments and more adventurous feats to provide staggering results that will leave viewers wondering how anyone was able to pull off such a shot!

Greater Depth of Field

With a much wider perspective than other telephoto macro lenses, this Periprobe lens needed a sizeable aperture range, and Laowa delivered. Starting at T14 and expanding all the way up to T40, this Periprobe lens lets the light flood in for a greater depth of field at closer distances. This is perfect for really highlighting your subject or capturing the more elaborate details of the background - producing telephoto results that match other conventional, industry-leading lenses in both quality and style.

Every Last Nook and Cranny

Arguably the most exciting aspect of this Periprobe lens is the long and tubular barrel, measuring just over 40cm in length. This design feature is perfect for content creators, allowing them to glide through tight spaces, under/over objects and work close to the ground. It also lends itself to wildlife photography by putting a safe distance between the operator and the subject. Whether you’re poking your lens into tight tree holes or squirrel feeders, you can remain relatively unobtrusive to capture some truly stunning wildlife snaps.

With Laowa striving to provide a truly unique, specialist lens, they made it their mission to help users achieve shots that other lenses simply cannot do. The front portion of this 24mm T14 2x Periprobe Lens is waterproof and does not require any additional housing to work safely under the surface of the water. As a result, users can submerge their lenses into rock pools and rivers to capture isolated moments in the wild that are rarely seen.

Endless Creative Possibilities

To expand the potential of this Periprobe lens, Laowa has included a number of upgrades to provide more creative possibilities to users. These improvements are particularly useful for creators working in the videography industry and include an additional clutch mechanism for 360-degree rotation, interchangeable 90-degree and 0-degree scopes and a threaded tip (1/4 20) for attaching a whole host of stabilisers, lights and other optional accessories.
