Aputure 36° Lens for Spotlight Max

Swapping from my 19° to this 36° lens gave me a much wider, more even beam for close-up product shots—no hot spots at all. The glass element feels solid and clicks in securely, which puts my mind at ease during shoots.

The light projection is noticeably cleaner and more defined than with the standard lens, making it perfect for creating precise gobo patterns. For my typical studio setups, this 36° gives me just the right balance of spread and distance throw.

Had it mounted on the Spotlight Max for a shoot last week and the light falloff was surprisingly smooth. The 36° gives me a nice medium spread that's neither too tight nor too floody, and it holds its focus well across the throw range.
