Love them

I love it! Amazing on black and brown skin tones. Looking forward to buying and owning the whole set. Yes, there's CA but my audience wouldn't be looking out for it. Good tools, good stories. I own the 25mm and 90mm Macro

Great Lens set!

Love these lenses! Very well built, fast, compact, matching focus/iris rings across all lenses and outstanding optical quality. I?m using them on my BMPCC 4K with Metabones and BMPCC 6K pro. But I can also use them with my medium format Fujifilm GFX 100s in video mode (not so much in photo mode). Only the wider lenses have some minor vignetting that I can correct in post. Great set of lenses!

Pretty Good!

Just went out and tested this and the 75mm. Thoroughly loved the fact that it had character and wasn't too clinical. Wanted to test these two before I got the whole set. I'll be adding more and more of the primes as time goes on. Impressive for the very low price.

Amazing Vespid Prime Set

These lenses are amazing. I?ve shot through the years on Cooks, angeniuex, canon CNE?s, Zeiss and many many more and these lenses are some of the best and can hang if not exceed some of the others on my list!! Way to go Vespid?s!

So pleasantly surprised...

These are shockingly good for the price. Image quality is very impressive. Zero breathing. Excellent dampening & solid construction while staying very lightweight. A nice blend of modern sharpness/mechanics with a vintage aesthetic. Pleasing flares. Creamy bokeh & consistent color across the line. Useable wide open, sharp (where it counts), minimal distortion, & well-controlled contrast. When they release the 16mm, this will be a perfect set. Literally, my only complaint is a powerful ammonia odor from the adhesives in the case & what I can only describe as some sand (?) in the case? I can?t explain that. Also, they apparently aren?t weather-sealed but, for the price, that?s not shocking, is it? These have far exceeded my expectations.

Impressed

The lenses are better than expected! We are quite happy to have them. I want to commend Shelby A. in customer support; without her diligence and perseverance we would not have these lenses. Due to an issue between my legal first name and the name I actually use (middle name) there was a glitch between the Adorama credit card and company. Shelby worked VERY hard to figure out the issue and I was greatly impressed. Definitely plan to continue ordering from and recommending this company!

These should cost twice as much.

Amazing quality for the price. For full frame cinema primes they are very compact and light weight. The build quality is superb and will be right at home on any demanding production. Flare is also very controlled for lenses at this price point.

What sets the Vespid Prime 25mm T2.1 Cinema Lens apart is its ability to capture cinematic visuals beyond full-frame (46.5mm), making it an indispensable tool for professional filmmakers and photographers. This compact and portable lens is ideal for documentary shooting, offering the nimbleness and agility of a Vespid, easily adapting to diverse shooting conditions.

The Vespid Prime lens is characterized by its swift and fast performance, whether used as a single unit or as part of a group. Its consistent gear design eliminates the need to change gear motors when switching lenses, enhancing its ease of use and efficiency.

As a reliable filming partner, the Vespid Prime lens offers negligible breathing effects, creating immersive scenes with a neutral color palette. Its fine and soft skin rendering faithfully represents the actual image, making it a perfect companion for both A-roll and B-roll footage.

The lens features an organic APO design, striking a balance between gentle sharpness and vivid clarity. Its appropriate sharpness generates a cinematic feeling while expressing organic look and fine details. In accordance with the APO standard, the Vespid Prime lens optimizes chromatic aberration for each shot.

The lens also boasts a pleasing round bokeh, thanks to its 16-blade diaphragm design. This feature achieves a natural and soft bokeh, composing organic and emotional images with aesthetic transitions during focus fall-off.

Balancing modern and slightly vintage aesthetics, the Vespid Prime lens offers consistent performance and a solid construction that withstands diverse environments. It is designed for the new era of motion pictures, offering perfect aberration correction without obvious sharp edges or bright spots.

The Vespid Prime lens also features creative magnetic rear elements ND, with a consistent T2.1-T22 across all focal lengths. Its detachable rear ND filter allows you to control exposure while maintaining a shallow depth of field.

With the Vespid Prime lens, you have the freedom to break the rules and decide the bokeh. It offers an interchangeable mount for PL or EF Mount and can be converted to L/X/E/RF mount via the DZOFILM Octopus Adapter. This lens is truly designed for indie filmmakers seeking to push the boundaries of their creativity.
