Key Features
18-28mm Cinema Optics
DZOFilm X-Tract 18-28mm T8 FF Probe Zoom Lens provides the named 18-28mm view with its 18-28mm T8-T45 full-frame probe zoom macro lens.
Mount and Sensor Planning
The lens uses ARRI PL mount; match the camera recording area, installed interface, rear clearance, flange distance, and support before the shoot.
Manual Crew Operation
43.2mm image circle, 6mm front working distance, 2.1x magnification at 28mm, 300-degree focus, 100-degree zoom, and 0.8 MOD gears, supporting repeatable focus, zoom, iris, matte-box, and motor setup.
How It Compares
Choose the 0-degree front for straight-ahead probe moves, the 90-degree version for side-looking access, or the 360-degree configuration when rotating periscope orientation is central to the move. Choose a conventional macro prime when the long probe barrel is unnecessary.
Compatible Accessories and Related Gear
DZOFilm X-Tract 18-28mm T8 FF Probe Zoom Macro Lens (360°, ARRI PL) and DZOFilm X-Tract 18-28mm T8 FF Probe Zoom Macro Lens (90°, ARRI PL). Check camera sensor mode, ARRI PL mount, rear clearance, flange setup, lens support, matte box, filters, 0.8 MOD motors, focus scale, working distance, and case dimensions.
Who Is This For?
This lens is for cinematographers, camera assistants, rental houses, studios, film schools, production companies, and owner-operators building a manual full-frame cinema package.
Who Should Choose Something Else?
Choose a different focal range when camera position or framing demands it, another mount or sensor family when compatibility changes, autofocus glass for solo event work, or a lighter lens when handheld balance and support time are the main constraints.
