Innovative zoom probe for precise macro photography

The DZOFILM X-Tract 18-28mm 360 Degree Probe Zoom Lens for PL mount opens new territory in full-frame macro shooting, offering an optical structure that delivers a wide 100°-73° field of view across a practical 18-28mm focal range. Designed with a parfocal mechanism, it maintains pinpoint focus throughout zoom transitions, making it ideal for commercial and narrative production where consistency is key. The constant T8 aperture ensures uniform exposure, while glare suppression and edge-to-edge clarity eliminate typical visual inconsistencies often seen in probe lenses.

Designed for colour fidelity and detail

Engineered with six low-dispersion elements and seven high-refractive lenses, the X-Tract corrects chromatic aberration, refines colour balance, and addresses traditional yellowing issues found in older probe lens systems. The differential refractive index distribution (2 + 5) contributes to more lifelike colour temperature and contrast, critical for high-end cinematic work. Combined with a multi-layer anti-reflective coating, the lens performs with exceptional sharpness even at full aperture, making it suitable for demanding image quality standards.

Durable build for challenging conditions

With an IP57 rating, the lens body is waterproof to a depth of 28cm, dustproof, and fog-resistant, thanks in part to its anti-fog-coated front element. Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminium alloy with a 25μm oxide layer, the lens is built to withstand physically demanding environments without compromising stability. Whether shooting in damp, confined, or unpredictable locations, the X-Tract is designed for reliable use under pressure.

Compact design with smooth focus control

Weighing just 1000g and measuring around 400mm in length, the DZOFILM X-Tract 18-28mm 360 Degree Probe Zoom Lens features a rear-centric design that reduces front-end jitter and improves rig balance. A narrow front diameter under 30mm allows access to tight spaces without blocking light sources. The 300° focus throw supports micro-adjustments, and its lifespan-tested focus system ensures accuracy over extended use. With full M0.8 gear compatibility and a 360° stepless rotating ring with a positional scale, the lens integrates smoothly into standard film production setups.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.

During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.

Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
