DZOFilm VESPID 35mm T2.1 Overview

Relatively small and lightweight, the DZOFilm VESPID 35mm T2.1 Lens is part of the VESPID series of lenses from DZOFilm and is well suited for independent and high-end full-frame cinematography. The lens has an 80mm front diameter, allowing it to work with virtually any cine-style matte box. The small size makes this lens an attractive option when working with drones and gimbals, as well as when shooting handheld or run-and-gun. The interchangeable PL mount and included EF mount allow you to use the fully manual lens on a variety of modern and vintage cine cameras, while the full-frame coverage supports sensors that have an image circle up to 46.5mm for use on cameras with sensors up to full-frame without vignetting..

The 16-blade iris, which is consistent throughout the VESPID prime lens lineup, creates round out-of-focus highlights that have a more natural appearance and contribute to the lens's natural-looking bokeh. The focus ring features 270° of rotation for precise focus pulls, and the iris ring has a generous 63° of rotation. Cine-style gear rings on the focus and iris rings make the lens compatible with cine-style lens accessories such as follow focus units, lens motors, and lens control systems.

This 35mm lens has an image circle that covers a full-frame sensor. When mounted on a camera with a Super35 sensor, it provides you with a tighter shot than if mounted on a camera with a full-frame sensor.
The lens features metal construction to withstand the rigors of daily production.
The common 80mm front diameter allows for quick lens changes as you don't have to swap out antireflection donuts or adapters to use the same matte box.
A minimum focusing distance of 12" allows you to get up close to your subject.

I have been using the Vespid Lenses for both Personal and Professional use and I have been more than happy. They have a sturdy/solid build and design that you expect to find on a professional lens as well as putting out gorgeous imagery. The focus pills are buttery smooth and the lens produces nice bokeh. I also appreciate markings on the ACs side of the lens as well, small detail but a nice added touch. Can't wait to complete the set. Good pick ups for anyone wanting to get professional style Cine primes without spending a years salary for one.

Does the 12mm lens have a lot of distortion? And if I converted the Canon 5D Mark III to PL Mount would it hit the mirror?
Asked by: Paul
The DZOFilm VESPID 12mm T2.8 Cine Lens would not have distortion. For mounting to the Canon 5D Mark III the lens currently comes with the DZOFilm EF-Mount Tool Kit for Vespid, Catta Ace, Gnosis Lenses.

Yes, the DZOFilm VESPID 35mm T2.1 Lens (PL Mount) would work with the Panasonic Lumix S5 IIX Mirrorless Camera when using the DZOFilm Octopus Adapter (PL to L) as a mount adapter. I recommend using a lens support for the lens/adapter.

Does this lens have a lot of distortion? And if I converted the Canon 5D Mark III to PL Mount would it hit the mirror?
Asked by: Paul
The DZOFilm VESPID 35mm T2.1 Lens (PL & EF Mounts) has very minimal distortion. It comes with an EF mount that would not protrude into the camera. If you use a PL to EF mount adapter, the DZOFilm VESPID 35mm T2.1 Lens would work with standard PL lens adapters.
