The Laowa 24mm T14 2X Periprobe Lens for Nikon Z gives filmmakers and photographers new visual options. Its periscope-style front modules let you capture immersive close-ups and unusual angles that are difficult or impossible with standard lenses. You can shoot through tight spaces, perform dynamic rotations, and create distinctive macro cinematography and product photography shots.
The Periprobe’s optical design focuses on high magnification and clarity. With 28 elements in 19 groups, the lens aims to maintain image detail and color accuracy at close focusing distances. Mechanically, the lens provides geared focus and aperture rings, which makes it compatible with follow-focus systems and other cinema rigging. The front barrel is waterproof and includes integrated LED lighting that connects via the supplied USB cable.
Use this lens for commercial filmmaking, product photography, macro videography, and any project that requires confined-space shooting or extreme close-ups. The interchangeable straight and 90° front modules increase flexibility on set, while the rotation capability enables creative motion shots.
