DZOFilm X-Tract 18-28mm T8 FF Probe Zoom Macro Lens (360°, ARRI PL, Meters)
Offering a 100 to 73° field of view, the ARRI PL-mount, 360° X-Tract 18-28mm T8 FF Probe Zoom Macro Lens from DZOFilm brings innovative close-up capture to your production. This compact probe is just 16.3" long and has a front diameter of <1.2", making it ideal for tight setups. It features 2.1:1 magnification and a 0.24" close focus.
Wide 18-28mm Zoom
- This 18-28mm zoom offers an ultrawide to more midrange reach, covering most common focal lengths.
- The wide 100 to 73° field of view supports flexible capture.
Rotating 360° View
- This 360° probe features a periscope design that provides creative positioning.
- A rotating ring enables even greater flexibility.
- 0° direct view and 90° right-angle lens versions are available separately.
Macro/Close Capture in Narrow Spaces
- Craft creative macro shots using a maximum magnification ratio of 2.1:1.
- The extremely close minimum focusing distance of around 0.24" lets you get super tight coverage of your subject.
- The large depth of field and wide-angle focal length combine to enable close-ups in constricted areas while maintaining a safe distance from your subject.
Low-Distortion, High-Resolution Optics
- The optical design has both ED (extra-low dispersion) and high-refractive index elements, suppressing chromatic and spherical aberrations.
- Advanced coatings help minimize flaring and reflections.
- Incorporates seven HRI (high-refractive-index) lens elements, producing more natural color.
- ±2% distortion control across the zoom range.
T8 Maximum Aperture
- The relatively fast T8 maximum aperture is maintained throughout the zoom range.
- Multilayer, antireflective coatings help ensure sharp, clear images even when shooting wide open.
Waterproof, Cine-Style Design
- Focus, iris, and zoom functions all have 0.8 MOD cine-style gears for compatibility with follow focus and lens motor systems.
- A lightweight yet rear-heavy design helps reduce vibrations while shooting.
- The focus barrel offers a wide 300° rotation for precise focus pulls.
- Waterproof and dustproof, this probe lens is also scratch and fog resistant.
- Focus is marked in meters.
