Advantages and Applications

One of the most remarkable features of the Laowa Aksen 45 mm is its parfocal design, which keeps focus locked on the subject when the zoom ring is turned throughout the 1–5X range.

The built-in zoom function with a fixed working distance of 40.35 mm means that both the camera and lighting can remain in place during shooting, contributing to a smoother workflow.

The apochromatic optical design minimizes chromatic aberration and color fringing, ensuring that details are preserved across the entire zoom range. With 13 lens elements in 9 groups and a diaphragm with 11 blades, the lens offers an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/11, providing great flexibility in exposure settings.
