Full-Frame Ultra Macro Lens

Add distinctive, defining character to your imagery using the ARRI PL-mount Laowa Aksen 17.5mm f/1.7 5-10x Ultra Macro APO Cine Lens from Venus Optics. Ideal for creative, commercial, and scientific macro capture, this full-frame, cine-style lens pairs high optical quality with a 5 to 10x magnification range. Its parfocal design ensures that focus remains sharp while the lens length remains constant, eliminating the need to adjust your camera or lighting setup.

Extended 5 to 10x Magnification

• The Aksen 17.5mm Ultra Macro lens enables you to capture extremely close-up views with 5 to 10x magnification.
• Focus is fixed, enabling you to simply adjust the position of your subject while maintaining focus at distances down to 0.9".
• This full-frame lens can be used on medium-format cameras but will produce varying levels of vignetting at different magnifications.

APO Design

Designed with apochromatic correction, the Aksen 17.5mm Ultra Macro lens creates ultrasharp images with little to no color fringing, even at higher magnifications.

NOTE: Exposure compensation is required at high magnifications.
