Ultra-Wide DL-Mount Prime. The DJI Zenmuse DL 18mm f/2.8 ASPH is an ultra-wide prime for the DJI Zenmuse X9-8K, X9, and X7 gimbal camera systems. It’s capable of producing ultra-sharp 8K aerial footage with rich details and accurate color, and its 100° field of view makes it especially great for capturing large, sweeping subjects like mountains, landscapes, and architecture. On crop-frame systems, it provides a 27mm-equivalent focal length.
Designed for Aerial Photography. DJI specifically designed their DL-mount lenses for aerial photography with an “ultra-short flange focal distance” and lightweight carbon fiber housings. This reduces weight and improves gimbal and aircraft stability.
Consistent Filter Thread Sizes. This lens can use 46mm filters, and if that’s something you’re interested in, you’ll be happy to know that all of DJI’s DL lenses have consistent 46mm thread sizes.
Q & A
-
No, the Zenmuse X9-8K is a full-frame camera system.
-
Yes! When used on a Zenmuse X7 or X9 camera system, full-frame lenses’ 35mm-equivalent focal lengths are based on a 1.5x crop factor.
-
This 18mm lens has a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 27mm on the Zenmuse X7 and X9.
-
DL lenses provide full frame sensor coverage and DL-S lenses provide smaller Super 35 sensor coverage. Both work great with the Super 35 sensor in the Zenmuse X7 and X9.
-
DJI specifies that filters with a diameter of 46mm, weighing 10-12g, and that are no thicker than 4.4mm (excluding threads) are compatible with the Zenmuse X9-8K, X9, and X7.
