Introducing the MicroFocus Lens

Maxima Furiosa takes lighting innovation to a new level with its advanced MicroFocus lens—a specialized micro-glass component that merges the best of Fresnel-style sharpness with a unique, diffused touch. This groundbreaking design allows the Furiosa to produce hard, crisp shadows that add dimension to any scene, while delivering a diffused quality that keeps subjects looking natural and beautifully lit.

Gone are the days of choosing between hard and soft lighting. With the MicroFocus lens, photographers and videographers can achieve both in a single setup. The result? Shadows with a rich, defined contrast that bring your images to life, all while maintaining a gentle diffusion on your subject’s skin tones, enhancing details without overemphasizing them.

How does it work?

The MicroFocus lens is designed for seamless integration, mounting directly onto Maxima Furiosa’s collimator with just four screws for easy attachment and removal. This innovative design means you can quickly add or remove the lens to adapt to any lighting need without hassle. Even with the MicroFocus lens in place, compatibility with Profoto® and Bowens accessories remains unaffected—on the contrary, the lens actually enhances their performance, allowing for greater control and nuanced light shaping. This setup provides maximum versatility for any lighting scenario, giving photographers and videographers the freedom to elevate their creative toolkit effortlessly.

The new MicroFocus lens combines advanced optical engineering with precision machining to create sharp, defined shadows like a Fresnel, but with a softer fall-off. This new technology achieves a gentle diffusion on the subject, creating a flattering, soft light quality that preserves detail without overpowering it.

This dual effect results from the lens’s carefully designed refraction properties, which control and shape the light path more effectively than a standard bare LED. For professionals on the go, this compact yet powerful design is a game-changer, as it provides the dramatic contrast of a Fresnel without the bulk. Paired with Maxima’s no-ballast design, the Furiosa allows for rapid, hassle-free setup and a level of versatility that traditional lighting setups simply can’t match.
