The DZOFilm X-Tract Probe Zoom Lens brings a groundbreaking approach to macro cinematography. With its innovative design and unmatched optical capabilities, this lens allows filmmakers to capture intricate details and unseen worlds like never before.
DZOFILM has unveiled the brand-new X-tract Probe Zoom lens FF 18-28mm T8 macro zoom, designed to cover the most critical aspects of the probe lens range for creative industries. What sets this probe lens apart is not just its zoom capability but also its ability to deliver the same image quality as prime probe lenses at T8, as confirmed by conducted tests.
The X-tract Probe Zoom series features three interchangeable front elements: a 0-degree, a 90-degree, and a 360-degree periscope. This versatility opens up new possibilities for creative movements and applications, including underwater shots up to a depth of 28 cm (IP57). The unique design of this macro zoom lens—with a working distance of just 6mm—enables effortless access to tight, hidden spaces, capturing microscopic details that are invisible to the naked eye.


The 18–28mm zoom range, designed for full-frame sensors, offers filmmakers far greater flexibility than traditional 24mm probe primes. Delivering more range while maintaining exceptional image quality was a top priority for professionals working on high-end productions. The T8 aperture ensures sufficient light for shooting dark scenes and simplifies high-speed shooting on a tight lighting budget. At wide-open T8, the lens delivers high-quality imagery comparable to that of prime probes.
