Macro just got serious.

Parfocal. Internal zoom. Fixed working distance. APO corrected.

Set your subject, lighting & diffusion once, then zoom straight through the magnification range without refocusing or moving a thing. The barrel never extends, the working distance never changes, and colour fringing stays close to zero.

Laowa Aksen 17.5mm f/1.7 APO, 5X to 10X, ~22mm working distance, with coaxial lighting built in

The first commercial 5-10X lens on the market, and winner of Best Ultra Macro Lens at the TIPA World Awards.
