L Mount. The Venus Optics Laowa 24mm T14 2x PeriProbe for Leica L is a wide-angle close-up lens designed for use on L-mount cameras. You can also use it on APS-C cameras, on which it’ll give you a 36mm-equivalent focal length.

Wide-Angle Macro Lens. The Venus Optics Laowa 24mm PeriProbe’s unique design gives you a larger-than-life 2:1 maximum magnification, a 1.5-foot minimum focusing distance, and a 0.8-inch working distance. As a wide-angle lens, it gives you greater depth of field than standard telephoto macros. This means you get less subject isolation and more background detail.

Maximum Maneuverability. The Venus 24mm PeriProbe was designed for maneuverability and reach. Its barrel is long and narrow enough to move through tight spaces and lightweight enough to easily and comfortably be positioned at any angle you choose. It’s also waterproof, so you can get underwater shots without worry. You can unlock the 360° orientation ring to get on-axis spinning shots, and an included 90° periscope module gives you even more shooting options.

Virtually Distortion-Free. This lens’s rectilinear 19-group/28-element optical design keeps distortion at an absolute minimum while helping to eliminate chromatic aberrations, distortions, and color fringing. Additionally, there’s a built-in LED ring light at the front of the lens, which will help you focus at close distances.

Fully Manual Lens. This is a fully manual lens that provides no electronic communication with the camera. You must manually make all aperture and focus adjustments on the lens itself, and lens information is not transferred through EXIF data. A dedicated switch lets you quickly de-click the manual aperture ring for smooth, quiet rotation that’s great for video.
