If you're a modern cinematographer seeking a revolutionary lens that caters to both independent and high-end full-frame cinematography, the DZOFilm Vespid Prime 40mm T2.1 Lens is your ideal choice. Part of the esteemed Vespid series, this lens is meticulously crafted to meet the unique demands of today's filmmakers. Its compact 80mm front diameter integrates seamlessly with most cine-style matte boxes, while its lightweight and compact design facilitates dynamic shooting experiences, be it with drones, gimbals, handheld, or run-and-gun style. The Vespid Prime 40mm T2.1 Lens boasts broad compatibility, thanks to its interchangeable PL mount and included EF mount. This fully manual lens is designed to pair with a wide array of modern and vintage cine cameras. Its full-frame coverage caters to sensors with an image circle of up to 46.5mm, ensuring usage on cameras with sensors up to full-frame without any vignetting.Aesthetically, this lens is a masterpiece. Its 16-blade iris is consistent across the Vespid prime lens family, ensuring perfectly rounded out-of-focus highlights and authentic bokeh. For those who value precision, the focus ring offers a 270-degree rotation, and the iris ring a broad 64-degree rotation. Cine-style gear rings are integrated onto both focus and iris rings, optimizing this lens for advanced lens accessories, including follow focus units and lens control systems. The 40mm lens confidently covers a full-frame sensor, and when paired with a Super35 sensor, it delivers a more intimate shot. It strikes a delicate balance in aesthetics, oscillating between today's sharp, precise visuals and the nostalgic charm of vintage cinema lenses. The coated optics champion natural contrast, masterfully curbing veiling glare and specular highlights, thus shielding your image from flare washouts.The Vespid Prime 40mm T2.1 Lens comes equipped with a magnetically attached rear filter suitable for ND filters, allowing for precise exposure adjustments without altering the iris setting or depth of field. Its 77mm filter thread permits direct filter attachment to the lens, ensuring adaptability across diverse shooting environments. Finally, a 12" minimum focusing distance stands out, empowering detailed close-up shots. Whether capturing nuanced human expressions or nature's intricate designs, this lens misses no detail. The DZOFilm Vespid Prime 40mm T2.1 Lens is a harmonious blend of modern and vintage visuals, designed for the discerning cinematographer.

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

Love them

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!

Great Lens set!

Well built Lens with smooth gears. Very little aberration at the edges.

GREAT Value!

Absolute best bang for the buck in full frame cine primes.  Better than most lenses costing 3x as much.

great deal

Love these so far! They are changing the way I shoot. In the best possible way.

Worth it

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.

Pretty Good!

Unbelievable lens for the price?buy them now because they are going to do nothing but increase in price I promise you.

Best for the price

Great wide angle lens! Nice character when wide open.

Vespid is a sleeper

Fantastic lens. One of the best purchases I?ve made thus far. You can?t beat the price, and it competes with the bugs dogs.

Big Dog, Small budget.

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!

Amazing Vespid Prime Set

Really love these lenses after first couple uses. Amazing quality for a great price.

Get them!

Awesome Prime Set! Very surprised by the rock solid build quality. Love the look, very little breathing.

Great kit, great price!

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.

So pleasantly surprised...

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!

Impressed

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.
