Extreme magnification and stability

The Laowa Aksen 17.5 mm is not just an ordinary macro lens; it is the first commercially available zoom macro lens with a magnification capability over 5X. With a working distance of 22.48 mm, you can easily change magnification without the need for refocusing, allowing you to keep the camera, subject, and lighting stable during shooting. The parfocal design ensures that focus remains locked when you adjust the magnification, which is a significant advantage when working with extremely small subjects.

Optical quality and manual focusing

The optical construction of the Laowa Aksen 17.5 mm consists of 17 elements in 12 groups, contributing to exceptional image quality. The apochromatic (APO) design reduces chromatic aberration and color fringing, which is crucial at extreme magnification where these optical issues become more visible. With an aperture of 11 blades and an aperture range from f/1.7 to f/5.6, you also have the ability to control depth in the image, giving you creative freedom in your work.
