DZOFilm X-Tract 18-28mm T8 FF Probe Zoom Lens (360°, ARRI PL)

Unlock fresh perspectives and unrivalled close-up creativity with the DZOFilm X-Tract 18-28mm T8 FF 360° Probe Zoom Lens, designed for ARRI PL-mount cinema cameras. This innovative periscope-style lens provides a 360° rotatable optical view, making it ideal for capturing dynamic shots in the tightest, most challenging environments. With a compact design measuring just 41.4 cm in length and a slim front diameter under 30 mm, it’s perfect for tabletop work, product cinematography, and intricate macro storytelling.

The lens offers a flexible 18-28mm zoom range, covering ultra-wide to standard focal lengths, with a 100 to 73° field of view that lets you frame creative compositions with ease. Its 360° rotating lens barrel allows for complete control over camera angles without repositioning the camera, enabling seamless movement and exploration of your subject.

Engineered for extreme close-ups, the lens delivers a maximum magnification of 2.1:1 and a minimum focusing distance of just 6 mm, allowing you to shoot with striking detail while maintaining a safe working distance. The T8 maximum aperture remains constant across the zoom range, supporting consistent exposure even in tight or dimly lit setups. Advanced ED and high-refractive index optics work together to minimise chromatic aberrations and maintain exceptional sharpness, with multilayer anti-reflective coatings helping reduce flare and reflections.

Image quality is further refined with ±2% distortion control, and a total of seven high-refractive-index elements ensure natural colour reproduction. Built to withstand the demands of professional production, the lens features a waterproof, dustproof, scratch- and fog-resistant construction, making it ideal for both field and studio use.

True to cinema standards, the lens is outfitted with 0.8 MOD gears on the focus, iris, and zoom rings, making it fully compatible with follow focus systems and motorised lens controls. The 300° focus rotation allows for exact manual focusing, while its rear-heavy, stabilised design minimises shake during movement or handheld operation.

For filmmakers who need versatile macro performance and the flexibility to create standout visuals in even the most confined spaces, the DZOFilm X-Tract 360° Probe Zoom Lens is a powerful tool that pushes the boundaries of creative image-making.
