Laowa Aksen 17.5mm f/1.7 5-10X Ultra Macro APO (CI) Lens Fujifilm X Summary
The Laowa Aksen 17.5mm f/1.7 5-10X Ultra Macro APO (CI) Lens for Fujifilm X is a manual-focus ultra macro lens combining continuous 5x to 10x magnification with Coax Illumination capability for precise, shadow-free lighting. Compatible with the supplied Coax Illumination adapter, it projects light directly along the optical axis, reducing shadows and reflections on highly reflective or finely detailed subjects for more consistent inspection and documentation.
An apochromatic optical design suppresses chromatic aberration for greater contrast, colour accuracy and finer detail, while internal parfocal zoom, a fixed 22.48mm working distance and manual focus support repeatable high-magnification workflows. The lens suits electronics inspection, watch components, forensic imaging, scientific research and precision engineering, where accurate illumination is as important as magnification.
Laowa Aksen 17.5mm f/1.7 5-10X Ultra Macro APO (CI) Lens Fujifilm X In More Detail
Coax Illumination for specialist macro imaging
The dedicated Coax Illumination port allows the supplied adapter to project light directly along the optical axis rather than at an angle, providing even, shadow-free illumination while reducing reflections from flat or highly polished surfaces. Unlike conventional side lighting, this allows surface defects and fine textures to be recorded without glare obscuring important details. It reveals scratches, defects, textures and fine surface detail more clearly, making the lens well suited to circuit boards, microchips, coins, watch components, polished metals, forensic evidence and precision industrial inspection.
Continuous 5x to 10x magnification
The lens delivers continuous 5x to 10x magnification on full-frame Canon RF cameras. At 5x the image area measures approximately 7.2 × 4.8mm, reducing to around 3.6 × 2.4mm at 10x, revealing detail in insects, minerals, electronic components, biological specimens and other extremely small subjects. A fixed 22.48mm working distance and internal parfocal zoom allow magnification to be adjusted without moving the camera or subject, making repeatable focus stacking, measurement and inspection workflows easier.
APO optical design
The optical formula comprises 17 elements in 12 groups with apochromatic correction to minimise chromatic aberration throughout the 5x to 10x magnification range. This helps delivers higher contrast, improved colour accuracy and finer detail, while maintaining the clinical sharpness required for scientific imaging, technical documentation and precision macro photography.
Bright f/1.7 aperture
The bright f/1.7 maximum aperture, adjustable to f/5.6 via an 11-blade diaphragm, provides a brighter view for composition and manual focusing before stopping down to increase depth of field where required. At these magnifications, focus stacking is often used to maximise sharpness across deep or three-dimensional subjects.
Native Fujifilm X mount
The native Fujifilm X mount provides direct compatibility with Fujifilm X Series mirrorless cameras without an adapter. Measuring Ø70.2 × 127.5mm and weighing 570g, the lens remains compact for a specialist 5x to 10x ultra macro optic suited to laboratory imaging, industrial inspection, technical photography and advanced focus stacking workflows.
