DZOFilm X-Tract 18-28mm T8 FF Probe Zoom Lens (0°, 90° & 360°, PL Mount) A Bold Probing into Spectacular MarvelsThe name 'X-tract' is inspired by the word 'extract,' meaning 'to draw out the essence.' Its slender design allows it to easily access narrow, hidden spaces, capturing microscopic details invisible to the naked eye and transforming them into stunning imagery. Combining a T8 large aperture, wide-angle zoom macro capabilities, and a design inspired by starship exploration, it redefines macro cinematography. The X-tract lens becomes a tool for exploration and discovery, extracting unique visual creativity from unknown dimensions and perspectives. Unprecedented Vision with Probe ZoomThe X-tract 18-28mm T8 wide-angle probe zoom series redefines the possibilities of macro cinematography. Featuring a combination of 0 Degree ,90 Degree and 360 Degree lenses, it offers boundless creative flexibility. The X-tract probe zoom covers essential focal lengths for commercial filming, enabling effortless adjustments even in confined spaces while delivering enhanced spatial depth and dimensional detail that redefines probe lens capabilities. This flexibility empowers filmmakers with exceptional adaptability and creative expression. Masterful Optical Balance for Immaculate VisualsX-tract 18-28mm T8 0 Degree lens features 7 high-refractive-index (HRI) lenses and 6 extra-low-dispersion (ED) lenses, striking an optimal balance between size and weight while minimizing chromatic aberrations, distortions, and optical flaws common in probe lenses. Its innovative differential distribution of HRI lens delivers prime-level image quality and accurate color temperature, effectively reducing the yellowish tint commonly seen in other probe lenses. Distortion is kept within +/-2% across the entire zoom range, with near-zero distortion and focus breathing at 24mm, ensuring precise rendering of intricate micro-details. More Dimensions, Greater CreativityThe combination of prism structure and 360 Degree rotating ring, offering an additional dimension for creative adjustments and providing a more immersive macro experience. The entire series features a smooth 300 Degree focus throw, tested for high-frequency durability and micron-level assembly precision, enabling precise focus shifts and more flexible depth of field control. The X-tract lenses feature a par-focal design, locking the focus during zooming. Whether capturing subtle movements or quickly changing focal lengths, the focus remains sharp, delivering the classic Hitchcock dolly zoom effect even in macro shooting. Unmatched Performance Beyond PrimesThe X-tract series features native breath control, reducing breathing effects to just 0.5% at the 24mm (compared to 39.2% in other 24mm probe primes). The focus breathing becomes virtually imperceptible, minimizing the need for post-production adjustments. This ensures seamless visual continuity and stability during focus shifts, delivering immersive and spectacular cinematic visuals. The X-tract 0 Degree probe zoom maintains a relative illumination of 70.7%, while the 90 Degree probe zoom offers 68.6% (compared to 54.9% in other 24mm probe primes), ensuring consistent brightness and delivering professional-grade visual performance. • 0.5% Breathing Effect• 70.7% RI of 0 Degree Lens• 68.6% RI of 90 Degree Lens• 71.7% RI of 360 Degree Lens 360 Degree Periscope: Spin Into FutureThe X-tract 360 Degree probe lens Unlock three shooting modes for creative flexibility: Front Mode (0 Degree ): 30cm probe shaft moves in a 55cm arc for smooth vertical shots in tight spaces. Oblique Mode (0-180 Degree ): Dual rotation rings enable Dutch angles and horizon adjustments without quality loss. Rear Mode (180 Degree ): Foldable design with 360 Degree rotation for dramatic "barrel roll" effects in confined areas. Ultra-Macro, Unlocking a New worldWith a maximum magnification ratio of 2.1:1, the X-tract reveals the intricate textures of everyday objects and creates stunning, highly detailed visuals. When capturing tiny objects like insect wings, water droplets, sand grains, and miniature items, it brings out microscopic structures that are often invisible to the naked eye. The minimum focusing distance is reduced from the traditional 56.3cm (1'11") of probe lenses to 47.3cm (1'6"), with a minimum working distance of just 6mm (0.2"), allowing the lens to almost touch the subject for finer macro details. • 2.1:1 Magnification• 6mm/0.2" Working Distance• 47.3cm/1'6" Focusing Distance Modular System for Easy DetachmentThe specially designed inter-lens mount system delivers exceptional flexibility for detachable kits, enabling seamless transitions from pre-production to on-location shooting. It accommodates diverse team requirements while providing expanded framing options. A modular, detachable version is also available, it offers greater flexibility and reliable support for creative workflows. Note: The detachable model cannot be upgraded to a complete unit. The fixed model cannot be disassembled or interchanged. Ultimate Protection, Ready for Any ChallengeConstructed from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, the lens is lightweight yet robust. A 25microm anodized coating enhances the body's hardness, improving abrasion resistance and corrosion protection. Tested under extreme temperatures from -30 Degree C to 70 Degree C, it ensures stability and durability in challenging shooting environments. With IP57-rated dust and water resistance, the lens body is waterproof to over 28 cm. The front lens element features a hydrophobic anti-fog coating, reducing water and fog accumulation for consistently clear imagery. • 25microm Anodized Coating• -30-70 Degree C Testing in harsh environments• 28cm Waterproof Depth• IP57 Protection Rating Agile and Flexible, Fully ControllableWeighing only 1.09-1.14kg,The 0 Degree measures 41.5cm in the length with a 29.6mm front diameter, the 90 Degree measures 42.1cm in the length, and the 360 Degree periscope model features a 16cm crossarm and 30cm lens arm. Periscope models share a 37.7 x30.58mm square front filter. Compared to bulky macro setups, this slim tube design offers superior flexibility and adaptability. The rear-heavy design shifts the lens' balance closer to the camera body, making it easier to maintain stability whether handheld or with stabilizer use, reducing shake and enabling precise focus and zoom adjustments. When used with sliders or robotic arms for large-range movements, it offers superior control precision, minimizing post-production adjustments. Cine-standard Crafts, Precise and ReliableWith a 28cm water immersion depth, dual-sided hydrophobic coated UV filter, and O-shape clamp, the lens ensures stability and versatility during challenging shoots. The X-tract features a 360 Degree rotating ring, ensuring seamless compatibility with professional cinema equipment and accessories. Optional follow-focus accessories effectively manage rotational focus adjustments. The rotating ring allows for easy adjustment of the lens angle, enabling quick correction of the frame's horizontal alignment to ensure precise composition. Clear markings for magnification ratio, waterproof lines, and rotation scales on the lens body further improve usability, offering filmmakers a seamless and intuitive shooting experience. The native PL mount features rear elements that protrude just 1.37 cm from the mounting flange. This short rear protrusion is compatible with DZOFILM Octopus and most PL-E/RF/LPL adapters and Speedboosters.
