Laowa describes the Aksen 5–10X as the world’s first commercially available zoom macro lens above 5X.APO optics with coaxial lighting supportLaowa’s apochromatic design suppresses chromatic aberration and colour fringing, which become more visible at extreme magnification. This version adds coaxial illumination support and can be paired with the optional Laowa USB coaxial light for more even, low-shadow illumination. The optical construction uses 17 elements in 12 groups and an 11-blade aperture with an f/1.7–f/5.6 range.Key FeaturesFull-frame image coverage5–10X zoom range, described by Laowa as the first commercial zoom macro lens above 5XParfocal design keeps focus locked while magnification changesInternal zoom with a fixed 22.48 mm working distanceAPO optical design for reduced chromatic aberration and colour fringing17 elements in 12 groups11-blade aperture with f/1.7–f/5.6 rangeManual focusCoaxial illumination support for even, low-shadow lightingNative Canon RF mountCompatibilityCanon RF-mount camerasWhat's in the box1x Laowa Aksen 17.5mm f/1.7 5–10X Ultra Macro APO Coaxial Illumination Version, Canon RF mount

1. How to choose the right lens for a mirrorless camera?
When choosing the right lens for a mirrorless camera, it is important to consider your photography needs and style. First, decide on the resolution and focusing distance you require. For portraits, lenses with a wide aperture, such as a 50mm f/1.8, are often preferred. If you enjoy landscapes, go for a wide-angle lens (e.g., 24mm). To capture distant objects, telephoto lenses (e.g., 70-200mm) are useful. Another important factor is the lens’s light-gathering ability, which affects performance in low-light conditions. A stabilization system can also be important, especially for longer lenses. It’s important to evaluate the build quality of the lens and the manufacturer's reputation. Try out several lenses and consider your future needs to choose the right and long-lasting investment in your photography.
2. Are all lenses compatible with all mirrorless cameras?
Not all lenses are universal for all mirrorless cameras. Different manufacturers may have different mounts, so it is important to check the lens compatibility with your camera. For example, lenses for Canon, Nikon, Sony, and other manufacturers' mirrorless cameras may not be interchangeable without adapters. It is also important to consider the sensor size. APS-C lenses may be disproportionately large for full-frame cameras. Before purchasing a lens, it is advisable to check the manufacturer's compatibility chart and consider the specific requirements of your camera. Adapters can allow the use of third-party lenses, but there may be some loss in functionality or quality.
