Core Features
Detachable 0 and 360° Probe Zoom
This probe includes detachable 0 and 360° options that provide the most creative positioning. A rotating ring enables even greater flexibility.
Wide 18-28mm Zoom
- This 18-28mm zoom offers an ultrawide to more midrange reach, covering most common focal lengths.
- The wide 100 to 73° field of view supports flexible capture.
Close Capture in Narrow Spaces
- Craft creative shots using a maximum magnification ratio of 2.1:1.
- The extremely close minimum focusing distance of around 0.61 cm lets you get super tight coverage of your subject.
- The large depth of field and wide-angle focal length combine to enable close-ups in constricted areas while maintaining a safe distance from your subject.
Optical Performance
Low-Distortion, High-Resolution Optics
- The optical design has both ED (extra-low dispersion) and high-refractive index elements, suppressing chromatic and spherical aberrations.
- Advanced coatings help minimize flaring and reflections.
- Incorporates seven HRI (high-refractive-index) lens elements, producing a more natural color.
- ±2% distortion control across the zoom range.
T8 Maximum Aperture
- The relatively fast T8 maximum aperture is maintained throughout the zoom range.
- Multilayer, antireflective coatings help ensure sharp, clear images even when shooting wide open.
Design and Build
Waterproof, Cine-Style Design
- Focus, iris, and zoom functions all have 0.8 MOD cine-style gears for compatibility with follow focus and lens motor systems.
- A lightweight yet rear-heavy design helps reduce vibrations while shooting.
- The focus barrel offers a wide 300° rotation for precise focus pulls.
- Waterproof and dustproof, this probe lens is also scratch and fog resistant.
- Focus distances are marked in meters.
