Developed for Precision and Stability

Laowa describes the Aksen 5-10X as the first commercially available zoom macro lens with more than 5X magnification, giving this lens a unique position in the market.

APO Optics and Coaxial Lighting

Laowa's apochromatic design minimizes chromatic aberration and color fringing, which is particularly important at extreme magnifications where these issues can become more pronounced. This version of the lens supports coaxial lighting, which can be combined with the optional Laowa USB coaxial light to create smooth and controlled lighting with minimal shadows. With its 17 lens elements in 12 groups and an aperture with 11 blades, the lens offers an aperture range from f/1.7 to f/5.6, allowing for great creative control over your photography.
