Benefits and Features

Laowa Aksen is the first commercially available macro lens with a zoom function that exceeds 5X magnification. This enables outstanding close-ups without the need to refocus when adjusting the zoom ring. The fixed working distance of 22.48 mm allows you to keep both the camera and the subject stable during shooting, which is crucial for capturing sharp images.

The apochromatic (APO) construction reduces chromatic aberration and color fringing, which is particularly important when working with extreme magnification. With an optical design consisting of 17 elements in 12 groups and a diaphragm with 11 blades, you can enjoy an aperture range from f/1.7 to f/5.6. The manual focusing gives you the precision you need to control the depth of field and capture the most detailed images.
