Product description for LAOWA Aksen 17.5 mm f/1.7 5-10X U.M. KA Arri PL

The Aksen Series from LAOWA – Setting New Standards in Ultra-Macro Photography

The name “Aksen” combines two meanings: the linguistic accent that gives a voice its distinctive character, and the optical axis, which stands for precise light alignment. It is precisely this combination of character and precision that defines the Aksen lens series—it gives every image a distinctive signature while delivering uncompromising optical precision across an exceptional macro magnification range of 5x to 10x.

The LAOWA Aksen series was developed for full-frame cameras and combines exceptional optical performance with a compact design.

Thanks to the internal, parfocal zoom, the lens’s length remains constant across the entire zoom range. This allows you to zoom seamlessly from 5x to 10x without having to reposition the camera, subject, or lighting setup. This is particularly advantageous for macro photography with diffusers as well as for video applications, as focus, framing, and lighting remain constant.

The APO design minimizes chromatic aberrations even at high magnifications and ensures exceptionally high sharpness and precise detail reproduction.


Coaxial Illumination An integrated beam splitter projects light directly along the optical axis onto the subject. This significantly reduces shadows, reflections, and glare. This solution is particularly well-suited for flat, highly reflective surfaces such as microchips, circuit boards, coins, or polished metals, as even the finest structures, scratches, and defects can be made visible.

Who is the Aksen series designed for?
The lenses are designed for discerning macro photographers, scientific users, and specialists who require the highest magnifications and maximum detail. Typical applications include photographing insects, pollen, plant structures, minerals, and crystals, as well as documenting specimens, samples, jewelry, watch movements, coins, or stamps. The lenses are also ideally suited for high-resolution focus-stacking images.


Coaxial Light Adapter The coaxial light adapter is included with the LAOWA Aksen 17.5mm f/1.7 5-10X Ultra Macro APO (photo and cine versions). It screws directly onto the lens’s M18×0.5 thread and is designed for coaxial light sources with an 8mm diameter.
