DZOFilm X-Tract 18–28 mm T8 0° Direct-View Probe Zoom Lens

The DZOFilm X-Tract 18–28 mm T8 is a full-frame probe zoom lens engineered for extreme close-up cinematography in tight spaces. Its slender 16.3″ barrel and < 1.2″ front diameter allow you to probe depths others can’t reach, while the constant T8 aperture combined with 2.1× maximum magnification unlocks a new realm of macro detail.

Featuring a parfocal zoom design with minimal focus breathing (0.5% at 24 mm) and 300° focus rotation, the X-Tract delivers smooth, precise control from 18 mm to 28 mm. With robust aluminum-alloy construction, multi-layer anti-reflective coatings, and waterproof/dustproof/anti-fog sealing, it’s built to endure demanding professional shoots.
