The internal zoom mechanism keeps the working distance at a constant 22.48 mm, ensuring stability during shooting. This makes it easier to manage both the camera and the lighting setup, which is crucial in macro photography where every little detail matters.

APO Optics and Coaxial Lighting

With an apochromatic (APO) optical design, this lens minimizes chromatic aberration and color fringing, which is especially important at extreme magnifications. This version of the lens also supports coaxial lighting, allowing for even and shadow-free illumination of the subject. For even better results, you can combine the lens with the optional Laowa USB coaxial light to achieve optimal lighting for your images.
