DZOFilm X-Tract 18-28mm T8 FF Probe Macro Zoom Lens, PL Mount, Metric

The DZOFilm X-Tract 18-28mm T8 FF Probe Macro Zoom is designed to push creative imaging into places standard lenses simply cannot reach. With its versatile full-frame 18-28mm zoom range and probe-style construction, it offers greater framing flexibility while maintaining the look and consistency filmmakers expect from a high-end macro tool.

Built for precision work, this lens combines a fast T8 maximum aperture with impressive close-focus performance, allowing you to capture tiny textures, hidden details, and dramatic perspectives in confined spaces. The 6 mm front working distance makes it possible to get extremely close to your subject, opening up a world of unique macro shots.

The X-Tract series is built around modular front elements, giving you access to 0°, 90°, and 360° periscope-style shooting options. This opens the door to imaginative camera moves and specialized applications, including underwater work down to 28 cm with IP57 protection.

For demanding productions, the lens also includes dedicated support components to help stabilize the setup during fast-paced shooting. Its solid aluminum construction, native PL mount, and compatibility with the DZOFILM Octopus system and many PL-E/RF/LPL adapters make it a practical choice for professional workflows.
