Laowa Aksen Ultra Macro APO 17.5mm f/1.7
Summary
The TIPA award-winning Laowa Aksen series (referred to as Axon during prototyping) redefines high-magnification macro shooting by eliminating the hassles of traditional lenses. Its groundbreaking parfocal zoom means the focus on the subject remains locked even as you change magnification. Powered by an internal zoom mechanism, the Aksen series has a fixed working distance, meaning you can fluidly scale your shot without needing to reposition your camera or disrupt the lighting setup. With Laowa’s signature APO design, the Aksen series eliminates color fringing to deliver flawless, ultra-sharp detail at any magnification level.
