DZOFILM X-tract 90 is a new PL mount full-frame macro probe lens with a zoom range of 18-28mm and a constant aperture of T8. The 90 in the name implies that the tip of the lens features a 90°-angled element that brings new filming angles. The X-tract 90 will start shipping from April 3, 2025, for $3,799. The so-called probe lenses have gotten quite popular over the last few years and get a lot of use by DPs, especially for commercial projects and product showcases, as they offer a unique perspective and angles that would otherwise be impossible to film.
