DZOFILM X-TRACT
DZOFILM X-tract 18–28 mm T8 is a modular full-frame macro probe zoom with a PL mount. This kit combines 0° / 90° / 360° viewing-angle modules with one interchangeable R unit, letting you change perspective while retaining the same 18–28 mm zoom, T8–T45 aperture and cine controls. It covers a 43.2 mm image circle, reaches a 6 mm working distance and up to 2.1× magnification at 28 mm for detailed product, tabletop and creative work in confined spaces.
The 0°, 90° and 360° system opens up direct, periscope and rotating perspectives. The optics retain focus through zooming, while the 300° manual throw supports precise follow-focus work. DZOFILM notes that footage from the 90° module requires a mirror flip.
Focus begins at 0.47 m from the sensor plane, while the working distance in front of the lens is just 6 mm. With up to 2.1× magnification at 28 mm, it can capture fine textures, liquids and miniatures from extremely close range.

These detail images show X-tract's interchangeable probe modules. The 0°, 90° and 360° options change perspective while the 18–28 mm zoom and cine controls remain consistent.
A 6 mm working distance and up to 2.1× magnification at 28 mm let the camera move extremely close to a surface while retaining control of the shot.
