The kast Laowa teaser from Venus Optics was for a new Laowa 24mm T14 2x Periprobe lens that is available also for Nikon F and Nikon Z mounts. The lens is similar to the existing Laowa 24mm f/14 2X Macro Probe lens but with a 90-degree rotating periscope tip at the end (the existing model is currently $150 off: for both Nikon Z and Nikon F mounts).
